Just when I thought I had escaped my family’s golden cage, I discovered I was living next door to my brother’s best friend—the same man I had a one-night stand with. He doesn’t know he’s the father of my child when he asks me to be his fake fiancée. What could possibly go wrong? Of course, I said yes to claim what’s rightfully mine, the unpaid childcare!
The only problem is that our fake romance is now tangled in a web of looks and touches. Every pretend date makes my heart beat a little faster, for real. A deal’s a deal, I tell myself. Keep it strictly business; no strings attached. But how do you ignore the pull of secret admiration, especially when it lives next door? Being with Henry could jeopardize all the relationships around us, and with a baby involved, I’m torn.
Should I continue this charade to be with a man who’s more than he seems? Or should I spill the beans for my daughter’s sake? But when the truth comes out, nothing will ever be the same. One thing’s for sure: someone needs to rewrite the game’s rules because now, love is on the line.
