The only thing worse than fake dating a firefighter with a saviour complex? Accidentally falling for him.

Nix needs a date to her cousin’s engagement party. Fast. Anything to avoid another night of awkward questions and well-meaning relatives trying to fix her love life. Brock Holt might be arrogant, stubborn, and dangerously attractive, but that also makes him the perfect fake boyfriend.

Brock has his own reason for the arrangement. After a bitter breakup, the last thing he wants is another relationship. But showing up to a firefighter gala with Nix on his arm might convince everyone, including himself, that he’s doing just fine.

The rules are simple: no strings, no drama, and absolutely no feelings.

But fake dating has a way of blurring the lines. Nix starts to see past Brock’s tough-guy attitude to the fiercely loyal man underneath. And Brock can’t ignore the way Nix challenges him at every turn.

They promised each other it was only pretend. The trouble is, are they about to get burned by feelings they never meant to ignite?

A totally charming and spicy fake dating, small-town romance perfect for fans of Stephanie Archer, Amy Daws and Laurie Gilmore.
