He believes that one missed signature is fate, but can he convince her they deserve a second chance before time runs out?

Laurel Evans left Sunset Ridge five years ago, leaving behind a husband she loved to protect him from her biggest secret. She never intended to return. It’s only after her youngest sister confesses she’s pregnant that Laurel decides to move home to help. All she has to do is avoid her ex-husband as much as possible and life can be fairly normal, right? It would be easier if he wasn’t her best friend’s older brother. Easier, but not impossible.

Until Chase drops a bomb of a secret on her: they’re still legally married.

Deputy Fire Chief Chase Monroe has never stopped loving Laurel. He’s always believed she’d come back into his life. When he discovers that one missed signature means they’re still technically married, he’s not about to waste the opportunity fate gave him.

With a suspicious fire investigation that’s stealing away what little time he has before their lawyer is back from vacation, convincing Laurel they’re meant to be together before time runs out is a harder feat than he bargains.

But he’s going all in, knowing full well he may lose his heart a second time.
