I Asked the Mountain Man to Fake Marry Me for Christmas: A Small Town Christmas Romance

I invented a fiancé named Gideon. Then I had to go ask the real one for a favor.

I picked the name off an invoice taped to my door. Gideon Vance. Snowplow. A hundred and eighty dollars.

My mother arrives in eleven days.

So I walked two miles up Ridgeback Road in the snow to ask a six-foot-five stranger to pretend to be the man I'm marrying. He said yes before I finished asking. He didn't ask why. He didn't ask for anything.

Now he's holding my hand at the tree lighting. Sleeping on my floor because my family took the guest room. Calling me sweetheart in front of my sister and going quiet for an hour afterward like it scared him.

Eleven days. That was the deal.

I'm starting to think he's been waiting a lot longer than that.
