"Finding out your sister is marrying your ex is a major gut punch. The thought of showing up to the wedding solo? Even worse. That's exactly the situation Harlow Hayes is in, unless she finds a date—fast.
Enter Linc Masters.
Childhood nemesis turned local firefighter. The boy who tormented her every chance he got, now the man who lives to push every one of her buttons. She can't stand him, but desperate times call for desperate measures, and he might be the only one bold enough to pull it off.
The plan is simple: fake the perfect love story, survive the weekend, go back to hating each other. Only, the longer they pretend, the more the lines begin to blur. Old memories resurface. New sparks catch fire.
And the secret they buried that night on Heart Mountain has them questioning everything. Like, maybe the legend isn't just a story. Maybe the villain was the hero all along.
And maybe—just maybe—the rivalry was only a disguise for something far more beautiful waiting to be told.

"A mountain with a legend. A flower shop owner with a plan. A hot mechanic who flips the script.
Nestled deep in the Canadian Rockies, the scenic town of Passion Falls holds a mountain very few know about. With it comes a legend that states at the stroke of midnight, under the light of a full moon, if you share a kiss on the mountain's ledge, you will be bound to your one true love forever.
Most people think it's a bunch of hokey pokey, but not eight-year-old Ellie Mills, she knows it's true and she's determined to prove it. What better person to do that with than her best friend, Gunnar. It takes some strong convincing, but he eventually agrees, and the two set off to test one mountain's magic. Unfortunately, it doesn't turn out the way Ellie hoped, leaving her heartbroken.
Now, seventeen years later, Ellie has another plan to rope Gunnar into, this one even crazier than the last. Once again, he will give Ellie what she wants, but this time, they're going to play by his rules, and it will forever alter their friendship.
But maybe that's how it was always supposed to be. Maybe Ellie was right and the legend of Heart Mountain isn't just a myth after all.
