— Synopsis

Two weeks. One cabin. A marriage that never ended.

Charlotte Campbell has the dream job, the perfect fiancé, and no ties to the small town she escaped—until her father’s will forces her back to Badger Creek. To claim what he left behind, she must spend two weeks in a remote cabin with Lucas Reeves, the man she thought she left for good.

Lucas never signed the papers—and he is not letting Charlotte walk away again without a fight.

Old wounds, sharp-tongued banter, and chemistry that never faded turn a forced reunion into an impossible choice: return to the future waiting in Denver, or risk everything for the one man she never truly forgot.
