Checking Into Forever
(2025)(The second book in the Aurora Ridge Blizzard series)
A novel by Harley Storm
He needs a wife to win custody. She needs a fake date for Christmas. Neither expects to fall in love for real.
Ezra Sullivan is desperate. His ex-wife is fighting for full custody of his daughter, and his lawyer says marriage would help his case. There's just one problem—he's not dating anyone. Not even close.
Enter Willow Ramsey, the sweet second-grade teacher who's already stolen his daughter's heart. When Ezra proposes a marriage of convenience, she should say no. It's crazy. Reckless. The kind of thing that only happens in romance novels.
But Poppy needs her father. And Willow understands what it's like to fight for family.
The rules are simple: Separate bedrooms. Platonic arrangement. Divorce after the custody hearing.
But living together changes everything. Morning coffee in their kitchen. Bedtime stories with his daughter. Stolen glances that last too long. Accidental touches that don't feel accidental anymore.
The line between pretend and real blurs a little more each day.
Ezra is falling for the woman who was supposed to be temporary. Willow is falling for the grumpy hockey player who's proving to be anything but. And Poppy? She's already planning their forever.
But what happens when the custody battle is over and the contract ends?
Can a marriage built on convenience become the real thing? Or will they lose each other the moment they're no longer legally required to stay?
Genre: Romance
