Never have.\u003cbr\u003eBut Fiona Cafferty? She's a walking whirlwind in tight jeans-and unfortunately, my new trail guide partner. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerfect. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe've been oil and water since high school. She's all sass, sunshine, and trouble in denim. I'm the quiet one-hands calloused, jaw set, no patience for nonsense. I'm here in Poplar Springs to work hard and build a steady life for my son. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut she's in my space, in my head, and damn if I don't catch myself watching her when I shouldn't. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen she drops a lie that spreads like wildfire-tells folks we're dating.\u003cbr\u003eSays it's just to help me save face after my two-timing ex tried to make a fool of me. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow we're faking it.\u003cbr\u003eSmiles, hand-holding, playing couple for the town. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt was supposed to be temporary. Just a story to shut people up.\u003cbr\u003eBut she fits into my life-and my son's-too easily. And every day, it feels less like a lie... and more like the one thing I didn't know we were missing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFIONA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was just one tiny lie.\u003cbr\u003eOkay-one giant, town-shaking, gossip-fuelling lie. But it was to protect Eli Carter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe didn't deserve to be cut down by his ex-not in front of half of Poplar Springs. So, I said we were dating. Figured we'd fake it for a week, maybe two, then go our separate ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow? We're playing house on the trails, sharing long rides, longer glances, and things that feel a little too real. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEli's not just the strong, silent type-he's a wall of grit and quiet heat. A protective father with a soft spot he keeps buried deep. The kind of man who doesn't say much, but when he does, you feel it in your bones. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI used to think he barely tolerated me. Now he's looking at me like I might be the only reason he'd ever stick around. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis was never supposed to be serious.\u003cbr\u003eBut I think I just crossed the line between pretend and something that could break me wide open.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Sue Jackson,Leslie North\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798231584130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Relay Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Mary Sue Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50664434925823,"sku":"9798231584130","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d3745f1-ff03-4713-8c69-c2114886924b.jpg?v=1792007496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unbroken-mary-sue-jackson-9798231584130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
