Creating a perfectly imperfect family.

Moving into his grandparents' house in coastal Maine, Marine Erik Storm is determined to honor the promise he made to a dying mother. Protect her two young children despite the injury that left him barely able to walk. When his neighbor offers to help, he sees the shy teenager he knew in a different light.

Years in foster care has left Tessa Porter leery of people, yet Erik's injuries have softened his once tough exterior and he's not the same intimidating teen she had a crush on. When Erik's claim on the children is questioned, he and Tessa arrange a marriage of convenience to retain custody. A scarred soldier and an agoraphobic loner make the perfect couple.

But their practical arrangement quickly evolves when unexpected feelings arise. As Erik and Tessa navigate their new roles as husband and wife, they must confront their deepest fears and desires. And when the reason for the marriage is threatened, will love be enough to keep them together?
