When he suggests we get married, I nearly laugh in his face. That is... until he points out just how much I need him. I'm single, pregnant and alone in a tight-knit town I ran away from five years ago. I've burned every bridge there is to burn in Hermosa Beach, and assumed my life would just continue to go up in flames. But who knows? Marrying Ben just might be the answer to all of my problems. I wanted a family once. Until an act of betrayal stole my vision for the future. Now, I'm lying in wait until I can figure out how to bring down the man who hurt me. And marrying Remmy could be exactly what I need. She wants to know what I get out of the deal, but what am I supposed to say? Not the truth, that's for sure. My reasons are my own, and I plan for them to stay that way.
