Can a marriage of convenience…
…really last a lifetime?
Single mom Gabby Rogers needs help raising her newborn triplets, so when her best friend, Seth, proposes a marriage of convenience, she cautiously agrees—on the condition it doesn’t ruin their friendship. As far as the town of Eagle’s Rest knows, Gabby and Seth are the perfect couple, but the imaginary romance soon feels surprisingly real. With the triplets’ first Christmas drawing closer, will Gabby risk showing Seth how she truly feels?

“What do we tell people?” Gabby asked.
What would they tell people? Everyone had a proposal story, and people loved to hear it. But their story wasn’t exactly romantic, and that wasn’t going to go over well, was it?
“Well, uh—” Seth swallowed. “Why don’t we move you into my place first, and then we can take some time to hammer out the details.”
“Something more palatable than we got married for health insurance?” she asked with a teasing smile. There she was—the old Gabby.
“Yeah, pretty much,” he agreed, and they exchanged mildly amused smiles. “We always did get ourselves into messes, didn’t we?”
And every single time, he’d been furious with her for dragging him along into trouble. A sparkle came into Gabby’s eyes, and he was gratified to see it.
“So we just…keep the secret for a bit?” she clarified.
“You okay with that?” he asked. “I mean, people will ask questions once you’ve moved in, but by then, I’m sure we’ll have something sorted out between us. United front, right?”
“United front.”
This is the last story in my Home to Eagle’s Rest miniseries, and I’ll be sad to leave this mountain town behind. If you haven’t read the other books in the series, I hope you’ll pick them up.
