Pretend We Are Us

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a small-town romance where a marriage of convenience to a former hockey player might be her only shot at keeping her family’s legacy—and maybe finding love along the way.
I never expected to inherit a sprawling estate in a small town I’d never even heard of. To claim it, I have to outmaneuver my scheming cousin and fulfill one impossible condition: Find a groom.
Enter Ledger Timberbridge—the infuriatingly charming stranger I crossed paths with on my solo (read: canceled) honeymoon. Now, he’s here in Birchwood Springs, fighting to save his family’s struggling logging company.And somehow, he’s probably my only shot at keeping my inheritance.
A marriage of convenience between us seems like the perfect solution. But between small-town secrets, high-stakes family drama, and the undeniable spark between us, nothing about this arrangement feels simple.
As the lines between convenience and something real begin to blur, I have to decide: Can I trust Ledger with my heart, or will this small town end up costing me everything?
