Found in Wild Sage

I'll do anything to keep my son safe, even marry my stoic doctor boss.

Escaping from an abusive ex and starting fresh in a small town was hard enough. Finding out my ex is trying to get custody of my baby and might actually have a shot at it is a hundred times worse.

I love my son—he's my whole world. I can't lose him. When Dr. Declan Ryan, the quiet, gorgeous man I work for suggests we can solve the custody problem by marrying, I'm shocked. Embarrassed.

And fully willing.

I've been crushing on this brilliant, kind, handsome man since the moment I met him last summer, but he's got nothing but professional fondness for me. And if he's offering to make me look more stable and secure for my son's future, I can't say no. I'll just have to keep my feelings quiet.

The trick is, I fall in love with everything about this situation—being near him, his family, and even his adorable little house. He's dedicated in a way I've never dreamed a man could be, and he's so tender with my son, and me, I can hardly handle it.

How will I ever disentangle myself from this fake marriage when the thing I love most is being his?

I haven't let myself hope, but when my world tilts yet again, it's time to ask for what I want.
