An exciting re-issue of one of bestselling author Carolyn Brown's first novels!

In a modern love story between two strangers, New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown brings small town Texas to life with inimitable sass:

  • A young woman with a talent for trouble
  • An unplanned elopement leads to forever love
  • Irresistible attraction and sizzling chemistry
  • Characters that jump off the page
  • Hurting hearts are healed
  • Authentic Southern voice and setting

Cassie O'Malley is on the run. In a few months, her inheritance will kick in. Until then, she just needs a job and a place to stay under the radar. But when Cassie gets off the bus in north Texas and runs smack into the town sheriff, she quickly does the first thing she can think of—approach the handsome stranger on the street and pretend to be a couple. Luckily, the sheriff believes it and the man surprisingly plays along—all the way up to the courthouse, where the officer insists he marry them himself.

Wondering how she got herself into this mess, Cassie can't believe her plan got so far out of hand. Her new husband Ted assures her that his Uncle Ash, a lawyer, will get the whole thing straightened out with no problem. Cassie would only be a bride for a day, and then she could go on her way. But as his family welcomes her with full hearts, she begins to wonder if she'll be able to say goodbye to the first loving family she's known in her life. Not to mention a man like Ted.
