**Premise:**
To save her family’s financially struggling ranch, Noa Vance has to meet the terms of a tricky inheritance clause: get married by her 25th birthday. With the deadline looming like a winter storm, her only option is a fake engagement with Finn Shepard, the brooding, guarded cowboy next door who’s as broken-in as his favorite saddle and wrestling with a painful past he won’t talk about.

Their arrangement is supposed to be a simple business deal—a few months of playing pretend in exchange for the ranch’s salvation. But as staged kisses simmer with unexpected heat and forced proximity chips away at Finn’s walls, the lines between their ruse and reality blur. They are forced to confront his past trauma and their shared, undeniable connection, discovering a love that might be real enough to save more than just the ranch.
