But when I arrive at his remote cabin, suitcase in hand, Ben Sutton has no idea who I am. Turns out, his meddling mother played matchmaker—and now we’re stuck together for one night and just like that, my dream of a fresh start shatters… or does it? Ben I don't need a wife. A quiet life in the mountains is all I want—until Emory crashes into my world with her fiery spirit and irresistible curves.
