Some risks are worth taking. Others could cost you everything.

Peyton Anderson doesn't do trust. She's learned the hard way that the only person she can count on is herself. Sure, she has friends-and a no-strings-attached arrangement with Walker Wolves star Beckett Hayes-but letting people in? That's never been her game. So when an unexpected inheritance comes with one massive condition-she has to be married-Peyton is ready to walk away.

Beckett, however, sees an opportunity. He's wanted more with Peyton from the start, and if a marriage of convenience is what it takes to prove they belong together, he's all in. But what starts as a simple arrangement quickly turns complicated. As past wounds resurface and outside pressures mount, their secret marriage begins to feel anything but temporary.

Peyton is convinced they've made a mistake. Beckett knows he's exactly what she needs-if only she'll let him in.

But with hearts and futures on the line, will their love be the ultimate goal... or just another penalty?
