I Knew You

She needed a place to heal. He needed a reason to hope. Neither expected a fake marriage to feel so real.

Julianna East’s life imploded overnight—laid off from her book marketing job and faced with a costly back surgery. With nowhere else to turn, she accepts her estranged NFL quarterback brother’s offer to stay in their childhood home. But going back to Mill Creek means facing everything she ran from—including the boy who broke her heart.
Bram Winchester never left Mill Creek. After an injury ended his football career, he threw himself into helping his hometown recover from an economic collapse. But when Julianna returns, the past rushes back with her—along with the guilt he had buried and the love he never let go of.
When a malicious act threatens Bram’s plans and Julianna’s lack of medical insurance complicates her surgery, the two strike a deal: a marriage of convenience. But living under the same roof stirs up old feelings and ignites a spark that refuses to stay buried.

As secrets unravel and hearts are laid bare, Julianna and Bram must decide: is this arrangement just a means to an end…or the second chance they never thought they’d get?
