They say misery loves company, but after losing the love of my life all I wanted was to be completely alone. Having a young daughter made that impossible. I couldn't curl into myself. I couldn't spend hours in the dark living in regret. I couldn't end it all no matter how many times that thought crossed my mind. Regretfully, I couldn't go through life on my own.

Including asking Simon Belvy to be my fake fiancé. I didn't think he'd agree to my outrageous plan. Except, he did. But it's all pretend, right?

Now with the press following every minute of my return to competitive skiing, I need an escape. But I end up in the one place I never thought I'd return to. With the man who nearly broke me.
