Now, Leo-single dad, small-town hero, and the most maddeningly good man I've ever met-is playing along. What started as a tiny white lie is spiraling into something I wish were real. The way he looks at me? The way he takes care of everyone around him? The way he makes me feel? None of that feels fake.
I came to Alaska to escape my past. I never expected to find a man willing to stand beside me through it. Maybe we're just pretending. Or maybe . . . we can fake it true.
