## Summary

Emily Towson

Emily Towson is known for being practical, dependable, and, most of all, sensible. But when her sensible life begins to feel too restrictive, she lets herself have one night of passion with the local bad boy. Unfortunately, an out-of-wedlock pregnancy puts her job and reputation on the line. Can Tanner O'Connor fake being a good guy long enough to keep her job? Or will this fake relationship turn into the real thing?

Tanner O'Connor

Tanner O'Connor has done his time and is trying to rebuild his life. Unfortunately, his hometown wants nothing to do with him. It seems he'll carry the burden of being a murderer and a convict forever. When Emily Towson comes along and treats him like a human, he feels hope for the first time in a long time. But when the town starts treating her as badly as they treat him, he considers abandoning her and his unborn child for their own good. Will he be reformed, or will he bring everyone down with him?

Ex-convict Tanner O'Connor may have saved your life, but that doesn't mean the town is ready to forgive him. You think you see something in him no one else does, but after one night of passion, he sends you packing. But when you find out you are pregnant will Tanner pretend to be a good guy long enough to save your reputation, or will you both change for the better?
