Jannette Tanner is ready for the next step of her life plan - a baby. But when she's called back to her family farm to help her brother, she suddenly finds herself unsure of her plans. Especially when she sees her brother's best friend for the first time after seventeen years and discovers those secret childhood feelings for him have only grown stronger.
Shannon Hopkins is happy and content with his life - or so he'd thought. It wasn't until his best friend's little sister showed up that he realises there's been a big hole in his life. And the longer Jannette is around, the smaller that hole feels. Only problem is, she'll be headed back to the city before too long, and he'll be the sorry fool left heartbroken in the country.
But when it seems that Jannette might have a stalker and Shannon finds himself needing to marry to access an inheritance from his traditionalist grandfather, there's only one possible solution - a marriage of convenience.
