At her father's insistence, Marissa Axton must marry to inherit the family farm. Despite the long-standing feud between their fathers, her childhood friend Felix Larock proposes a marriage of convenience. But their feelings for each other are far from pretend, and their relationship begins to blossom--until secrets unravel and threaten to tear them apart.
The Maine island setting makes women’s agricultural work and inheritance central to the romance. Marissa has already demonstrated her ability to manage the blueberry farm, but patriarchal conditions deny her ownership without a husband; the marriage of convenience therefore tests whether Felix will support her vocation rather than replace it.
