He Dared Me to Marry Her
Love isn’t supposed to start with a dare—but when Trevor barges into my kitchen and hands me a rain-soaked stranger, my quiet life explodes. Suddenly, I’m hosting a wedding dinner for a girl who can’t speak, hiding her from the law, and falling for her gentle, secret smile. In a town where secrets travel faster than rumors, we build a fragile happiness—until betrayal rips it all away. When the woman I love is dragged off on our daughter’s birthday, I’m forced to choose: obey the law, or risk everything to keep our family whole. Will love survive the borders that divide us—or will I lose her forever to the river’s cold embrace?
