The Moments We Made Ours

A small-town firefighter faking forever…Beckett: Maisey's always been more than my best friend. She's the only woman who tempts me to burn down the walls I built around my heart. So when I'm called to a fire and watch her world go up in flames, I can't stop myself from stepping in. A fake engagement is the only way to give her and her dad safety, a home, a chance to breathe again. I swear I can keep my distance-until one kiss, one dare, and one taste undo me completely. Until our charade draws a stalker's attention. Now, I'll risk my job, my future, and my life to keep her safe. Maisey: I've loved Beckett forever-before my scars, before I believed I wasn't the kind of girl men keep. His proposal promises security, not love. But every stolen kiss makes this engagement feel dangerously real. I almost let myself believe I can finally be enough… But Beckett doesn't believe in forever, and as the threats surrounding us turn violent, I realize the biggest risk isn't losing my heart. Get this standalone, spin-off of the fan-favorite Hatley Family series now. Award-winning author LJ Evans lives in Northern California with her husband, child, and the three terrors called cats.

A former first-grade teacher, she now spends her days deep in the pages of romance and mystery with a bit of the otherworldly thrown in. Her favorite characters are those who live resiliently-stubbornly and triumphantly getting through this wild ride called life with hope, love, and found families guiding the way. Her novels have won multiple industry awards, including Charming and the Cherry Blossom, which was Writer's Digest's Self-Published E-book Romance of the Year.
