Publisher's Synopsis
Greenwood 1920
Good-time girl Loretta LeMieux has always lived life on her own terms. When her latest beau refuses to marry her, she believes wedded bliss isn't in her future. However, a chance meeting with Samuel Wright at the train station knocks her off-kilter and has her considering what life would be like with a dependable, handsome man.
After his engagement is broken, Samuel Wright's only goal is to leave Greenwood. Embarrassed that his former fiancée prefers her longtime love instead of him, he has no reason to stay. But his exit plans are derailed when he meets Loretta and spends an unforgettable night with her, making him reconsider his decision to leave.
When Samuel receives a telegram that his family is coming from Chicago to meet his new wife, he begs Loretta for her assistance. He'll pay her to pretend to be his wife so he doesn't appear a fool in front of his loved ones. She agrees under the condition that they don't grow too close. However, the longer his family stays in town, the more attached Samuel and Loretta become.
Will they be able to fight their feelings, or will they truly love each other... when the time is right?
