One month. One fake boyfriend. One shot at forever.
I’ve got four weeks to cross one thing off my bucket list—and it isn’t exactly PG.
I’m not the type to take risks, but when a friend battling cancer dares you to go big, you don’t say no. My mission? Lose my V-card before my baby sister’s wedding.
Did I mention she’s marrying my high school crush? Yeah. There’s no way I’m walking into that ceremony as the awkward, untouched older sister.
Enter single dad Ian Barlowe—my sinfully hot, NFL legend neighbor, who owes me big time after his daughter breaks into my house. He offers to make amends by playing my fake boyfriend. How can I say no?
It should be easy enough—except nothing about Ian feels fake. The chemistry? Explosive. His unexpected sweetness? Heart-melting. And the way he seems to like me just as I am? Ruh, roh.
Here’s the thing—I don’t do vulnerability, and neither does he. But as the line between pretend and real starts to blur—especially in the bedroom—I wonder if happily-ever-after is a game we can win.
I set out to score one for the bucket list, but now I’m playing for keeps. And if we’re not careful, I might lose my heart in the final play.
Chase Sterling is a pompous grump—a gorgeous one, but still a grump.
I meet him at the airport while waiting for the flight to my sister’s wedding. It’s delayed and no one is happy, but Mr. Arrogant Sterling thinks he’s the only one of importance. After we exchange a few heated words, I curl up in my chair and ignore him until we board. Whatever, it’s not like I’ll ever see him again. Except, I do! And if I couldn’t be any less lucky, he’s the best man! I don’t want him ruining my sister’s big day, so I keep a very close eye on Mr. Fancy Pants.
One sensual dance and a stolen kiss later, I realize that there is more to Chase Sterling than the grumpy ass I first met at the airport.
After the wedding, I get back to reality. I’m trying to save the inn I inherited from my grandmother, but it ate up all my savings. That’s why I desperately need a job.
So when Sterling Investments offers me a position, I accept — planning to avoid Chase Sterling at all costs. Will I manage to see this grump as my boss and forget all about our stolen kisses? Time will tell. But judging by the seductive smile he gives me as he welcomes me in, I’m pretty sure that I will fail…
Chase is already unhappy when the trip to arrive at the wedding where he is the best man is filled with problems and delays. What he didn’t need with an infuriating encounter with Hannah and to find out they are attending the same wedding. It is at that wedding that the sparks fly, and it leads to them working together.
Hannah isn’t ready to let another man into her life but as she gets to know Chase both personally and professionally it is becoming harder to deny her feelings for him especially when she sees both the sweet and swoony side of him.
This is a heartwarming romance that includes great chemistry and a great cast of friends and family. The pacing of their romance was ideal, and once Chase acknowledged his feelings for her he didn’t hesitate to show her that she could count on him to be there for her in all areas of life.

“Parker?” I say softly. “Yeah?” “Look at me.” He sighs and drops the sponge back in the water, turning to face me. His green eyes meet mine, framed by his glasses, and my breath catches. “What?” Without hesitating, I cup his face with both hands and bring his lips to mine. He freezes for a beat, but as soon as I swipe my tongue across his lower lip, he groans and opens up for me. Mother of God. Yes, this is what I need. Our mouths move together on instinct, nipping and sucking, swirling tongues and swallowing moans as he lifts me onto the counter, squeezing my hips and devouring my mouth. I wrap my legs around his waist, pulling him closer into me, rubbing myself along his erection I can feel pressing against the zipper of his slacks. I claw at his back, dig one hand into his hair, and pull him in as tightly as I can. He grabs handfuls of my ass, pressing his cock to my center, right where I need him most. But then, as if someone threw a bucket of ice water on him, he rips himself from me, his chest heaving as he steps back, his gaze locked on mine. “Fuck,” he groans, turning away and running a hand through his hair. I hop down from the counter, move closer to him, and gently turn him to face me. “Thank you for tonight,” I say simply, pressing a kiss to his cheek before walking away, giving him the space to unravel in private.
I couldn’t tell you when I fell in love with Owen Harper. I just always was. And still am. He was my first everything—first love, first kiss and the only man that has left an indelible mark on my soul. I never thought that I’d call him anything but mine. But that was the thing about first loves. They weren’t made to last. Owen was destined for greatness, and I couldn’t be the one to stand in his way. So I broke both our hearts, and walked away. But after a heated reunion, I knew I’d made a mistake all those years ago and would do anything to start over — even move to a brand new city all by myself to win back my forever love. Owen Harper
