He hired on as her fake fiancé to protect her reputation. She needs him to keep her secret safe. But their business arrangement is becoming dangerously real.

Evangeline Murphy is desperate to escape her ruined reputation, seeking a fresh start in Oregon Territory with the young girl the world believes is her sister. But the trail is unforgiving, and the weight of the scandalous secret she carries -- that the child is actually her illegitimate daughter -- could destroy everything. When the harsh realities of the frontier put Evangeline and her family in danger, she finds an unlikely ally in a rugged trail captain who agrees to a unconventional bargain.

Leo Spencer has his hands full keeping his siblings alive on the treacherous journey west. Haunted by a tragedy from the life he left behind, he needs funds to start fresh in Oregon -- and Evangeline's proposal of a pretend courtship offers exactly that. The arrangement keeps meddling matchmakers at bay while giving Evangeline the protection of his name. It's strictly business. Until it isn't.

As the dangers of the journey force them to rely on one another, the line between their pretend romance and true affection begins to blur. But Leo dreams of adventure once his family is settled, not another burden to carry. And Evangeline's past is closing in. Can a love built on a fabrication survive the perilous journey west, or will their secrets tear apart the fragile bond neither expected?
