Ellie

Here’s the deal. I’m sixteen and I’m engaged and getting married. Super odd, I know. It was simply my me and my dad. We lived on a cattle ranch in Montana. He died suddenly, departing me an orphan (which is still a thing). I’m sixteen weeks away from being truly a legal adult, so I have two choices. A foster home or marry Jake Talley. My Dad’s foreman and actually, my greatest friend.

It’s legal. It solves all my complications. Except now i am coping with Riverbend’s most popular cowboy-my husband in name only-and I’m about The Bride-to-be still in senior high school. Where nobody wants to time Weird Married Ellie. Still all we must do is wait until I’m eighteen to get a divorce. Then Jake and I can go back to getting normal. We’ve got this. Right?

Jake

I never saw this coming. Married. To a kid I’ve known her whole life. But there was no way in hell I would allow her live at a foster home. The ranch can be where she belongs.

Sure we’re married but it isn’t real. Just a piece of paper. My sweetheart is definitely furious. But I know I’m doing the proper thing. For sixteen a few months, it’s me and Ellie against the globe. No big offer. Or is it?
