Boe Eaton is the prince of the town, a charming soldier with a tortured past. I am the marginalized barmaid, a shy girl from the wrong side of town. He is thirty-five and all man, and I am twenty-two and completely inexperienced. He is also my fiancé. Correction: my fake fiancé.

It all starts as a bet. An arrangement that benefits both of them: Boe gets a break from his meddling family, and Bailey gets a chance to shake off her family’s reputation while she saves up money to leave this small town once and for all. All she has to do is wear his ring, follow his lead, and publicly pretend she can’t keep her hands off him. Easy, right? Except what happens between them behind closed doors doesn’t look fake at all. But it is. Their agreement has an expiration date. Because Boe once confided in Bailey that he would never fall in love.

The fifth book in the bestselling Chestnut Springs series, featuring the men of the Eaton family and the women who will steal their hearts.
