Merry'd to the Mountain Man

She answered an ad for a fake wife. He didn’t expect her to be the real thing.

Cole
All I want for Christmas is to keep my family’s mountain.
The only catch? I’ve got to be married by the end of the year, or my smug cousin gets it—and he plans to sell every tree to the highest bidder.
So I post an ad for a wife. Temporary. Convenient. No Feelings.
At least, that’s the plan…until Frankie shows up on my porch in a red scarf and a look that says she’s not afraid of my bad attitude—or my beard.

Frankie
I’m done being the family disappointment—the single one, the odd one out, the one everyone whispers about at family gatherings.
But not this Christmas.
When I see an ad titled Get Merry’d to the Mountain Man, I figure, why not? What’s more festive than proving I can be someone’s wife, even if it’s just for show?
But the quiet, broody man in the cabin isn’t what I expected.
And pretending to be his wife for the holidays might be the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done…because I just might fall for him for real.
