The Forever Pact

What’s that saying? What can go wrong will go wrong?

I think that should be the saying for my life.

I’m Pippa Chase. I was about to become Pippa Snothead, but then my fiance cheated on me and I called off the wedding…I’m heartbroken, but at least I avoided a horrible last name.

Now I’m on my way to Paradise Valley, Montana to lick my wounds and figure out what’s next in my life. I’m going to live with my childhood best friend TJ Wyatt, on a ranch he bought. Ever since we were young we had a pact, if ever one of us needed the other, we would be there for each other.

Granted, TJ and I haven’t seen each other since we were 13 and we stopped our barrage of letters and emails when were were 18. However, we still send Christmas cards yearly and in one of them he did say, “If you’re ever in this part of the country, drop in.” I just don’t think he meant it as literally as I took it.

So that’s how I ended up living on a remote ranch, in a log cabin with a man who didn’t seem quite as happy to see me as I thought he would. But maybe it didn’t help that I showed up in my wedding dress and everyone in town thought I was his newly-wed bride. Oops!

This may not have been my best decision, but I’m hoping that Paradise Valley can help to mend my broken heart.
