"If saving those children means pretending I'm yours... then so be it."

An orphan herself, Minnie only wanted to bring Christmas cheer to the town's orphanage. Instead, she discovers something sinister behind its doors. The only man who can help her is the one she can't stand... but can't seem to ignore.

Deputy Martin Cole knows Minnie sees him as nothing but charm and trouble. But when danger circles the children, he won't let her face it alone. If posing as her suitor is the only way to uncover the truth, he'll play the part... no matter how she rattles him.

"Pretend to be your sweetheart? I barely tolerate you, Deputy."

But when a break-in forces her under his roof, Minnie's resolve begins to soften -- won over by a loyal cat... and its infuriatingly handsome owner. Yet to save the orphans, they must risk everything... even their hearts.
