Investigative reporter Gemma Wade has been dispatched to her own personal purgatory—small town Marietta, Montana—to write a fluffy, romantic piece about the unprecedented spike in marriages there. Being punished for an embarrassing career misstep is bad enough, but it's probably karma that she also stumbles upon Mr. Right in the absolute wrong place.

Noah Mathis is in town for a wedding with his ex-Navy SEAL brothers, but can't get Gemma out of his mind after meeting her at a party. He wants her to be his plus one for the week, even knowing this short reprieve from his real life will end all too soon.

It isn't long before Gemma realizes that Noah isn't who everyone believes him to be. Scooping the story of his true identity may just save her flailing career. But is sacrificing her happily ever after worth it?
