Get ready for another mini-series in the best-selling Heart Falls world. \———- Pretend engagement, hidden sanctuary—where secrets and hope collide Inspired by their stepfather’s legacy of paying it forward, Aiden Skye and his brothers bought Heart Falls Animal Rescue with a hidden agenda. More than a shelter for animals, it’ll be a refuge—a secret haven for people needing a place to hide and rebuild their lives. Aiden is determined to make High Water a success. Petra Sorenson is looking for a new beginning in a place that already feels like home. With friends in Heart Falls ready to support her, an IT job waiting at her brother’s ranch, and some secret vigilante hacking on the side, she hopes a fresh start will heal her trampled heart. Neither Aiden nor Petra expected their paths to cross again. Their fiery one-night stand years ago was supposed to stay in the past. But when they have to pretend to be engaged to protect a young woman, their lives begin to tangle. Living together while building a secret safe house is complicated. Their attraction is undeniable, but adding real emotions to lies is messy. But a little pretending never hurt anyone...right?

The past might be history—but it takes courage to trust and face tomorrow Jake Skye has one focus: building High Water Ranch with his brothers, a tribute to his late stepfather’s legacy. After betrayal by his former partner on the force and the wreckage of a failed marriage, trust doesn’t come easily. Jake thrives on control and order, but when Tansy Fields—vibrant, impulsive, and irresistibly free-spirited—enters his world, everything he thought he needed starts to unravel. Opposites attract, and Tansy is everything he shouldn’t want but can’t resist. Adopted at twelve, Tansy has mastered the art of living in the moment, refusing to let her painful childhood define her. Now, she’s starting fresh as the cook at High Water, and Jake Skye is a sexy challenge she’s ready to take on. But trusting her own worth? That’s the hard part. And Jake? He’s not the kind of man to let loose easily—until she shows him how. When the past resurfaces, bringing an innocent five-year-old into the mix, they’ll have to trust each other—and themselves—to save what really matters.
