Ariel Chen is one breakdown away from losing everything.
Her food truck is failing, the bills are mounting, and a custody fight threatens the one thing she will never stop fighting for - her son, Nate.
When quiet, disciplined rancher Levi Calloway offers her a six-month contract marriage in exchange for financial stability, Ariel says yes.
It's a deal. A solution. Nothing more.
Levi has plans, rules, and exactly one deadline.
To keep the ranch that has belonged to his family for generations, he needs a wife on paper before time runs out.
Ariel and her son are supposed to be temporary.
But temporary starts to feel like home.
As shared meals turn into family routines and a boy who never trusted easily begins to call him almost-dad, Levi finds himself facing something he never prepared for.
He didn't plan for this. He doesn't know how to let it go.
Then Ariel's ex-father-in-law - a powerful man who never accepted her - sets his sights on taking Nate for good.
What began as a contract may be the only thing standing between them and losing everything that matters.
Now Ariel and Levi must decide whether to walk away when the deal ends... or fight for the family they never meant to build.
A clean, small-town romance about second chances, found family, and choosing love when it matters most.
