Synopsis
She needs to escape her stepmother, and he's the only prince around.
Ever since my father died and my sister left, I've been trapped in a life of drudgery with a stepfamily as wicked as the storybooks say. Life after the apocalypse offers few choices, and I only have three. I can stay and be miserable. I can die in the wilderness. Or I can marry him.
Mason is the closest thing this village has to a prince. He's odd and antisocial and doesn't say a lot, but he's got a good home and a dependable income. Plus, he treats me better than my stepfamily.
Neither one of us has any experience with relationships, but maybe we can muddle along together better than we have alone.
If happy endings in this world are impossible, then this marriage of convenience will have to do.

Teresa was trapped under the thumb of her controlling stepfamily forced to earn her keep by cleaning after them and foraging for supplies in order for them to sell the items at the market. She'll be stuck there indefinitely unless a miracle falls into her lap.
That miracle was Mason, the quiet farmer who has taken over the farm from his deceased parents proposes a marriage of convenience.
This was a super cute, fast paced novel which like usual when it comes to this author was inhaled in one sitting. I enjoyed getting carried away by this unique storyline, though I was weighing up between 3,5 and 4 stars due to their first sexual interaction, I understand it was their first time and that was very much presented, it just made me cringe, after that though once they were more comfortable with each other their sexual relationship flowed between them a lot more effortlessly.
But other than that, I love this world, loved these two characters especially as they tiptoed around the other whilst coexisting in their new world together. And enjoyed her adapting to a new way of life on a farm environment.
I’m excited for the next book to come out in this series.
