Description

He was the town's rebellious bad boy. She was the girl who never dared to dream. In Maple Creek, fate gives them one last chance…

Petrus was once the family's black sheep—the rule breaker, the rebel who walked away. But years later, he's no longer the wild boy of Maple Creek. He's a successful CEO, carrying the weight of a father slowly fading to Alzheimer's… and the memories of the woman he left behind.

Louise has spent her life putting everyone else first—caring for her sick mother, sacrificing her dreams of a music career. She thought she'd buried the pain of the man who broke her heart. Until the day Petrus walks back into her life with a proposal she never saw coming: a marriage of convenience.

One contract. One child. One promise. All for the sake of family.

But some promises demand more than duty.
Old wounds resurface. Desire burns hotter than ever. And as Petrus fights to prove his love, Louise must decide whether to trust the man who once shattered her heart—or walk away for good.
