Ben's Bargain

Following the loss of his wife four years ago, Ben "Trigg" Wilson has avoided any emotional ties to women. He became a love them and leave them sort of man. That all came to a crashing halt when he met Abby Talbot at a bar in Cross Creek. Her smile, her patience, her strength, and her compassion, all kept drawing him back to her. The more distance he put between them, the more he wanted her. Abby Talbot had come to Cross Creek to leave her past behind. She was not interested in a serious relationship, so things with Trigg were perfect for her. Things spiral out of control when Ben agrees to pose as Abby's fiance', in order to keep her parents from pestering her to settle down. Ben "Trigg" Wilson does not fit any parent's idea of a potential husband. When Abby's past threatens to take her future, Ben is forced to admit that life is just better with Abby in it. Now he just has to convince Abby that they can have a future together.
