Sugar

In this third installment of the Saddlebrook Falls series, Kasey Bennett must come to terms with the fact that his high school sweetheart and the only girl he ever loved is back in town after disappearing ten years ago. Ava Jones is just as reckless as ever, convincing Kasey into a marriage of convenience to help save his family's ranch.

The catch? They have to make everyone else believe they've fallen back in love in order for their plan to work.

When Ava Jones left town ten years ago, she was determined to make a life for herself far away from the only place she ever knew. Abandoned by her mother and smothered by her controlling father, she desperately needed a change of scenery, even if it meant hurting the only person who ever really understood her. It was for the best, after all. But when her new life in Miami came crumbling down and her new man betrayed her in the worst of ways, she had no choice but to pack her bags and run back to the only place that ever felt like home.

Kasey never knew why Ava left him, only that she did. It tore him up, broke his heart into a thousand jagged pieces, and despite his best efforts it's proving difficult to keep a level head. Marrying her after everything they went through is probably the worst idea in the world-except it just might be the only thing that keeps his family safe. Still, Ava's hiding something, and he's determined to figure out what it is.
