Sweet Deal

The relationship is pretend. The chemistry…isn’t.


After her last job ended with a broken heart and a humiliating exit from the company, Shelby Leighton’s project management career is back on track with a new job and a high-profile project. The problem: her new boss is a little too friendly, and the staff is talking. Can you say, “déjà vu?”  The solution: casually mention a fictional new boyfriend.


New problem: She’s expected to bring her new man to the upcoming corporate picnic.


Jake Magill doesn’t do relationships. It’s casual or nothing, but the hot blonde he’s been eyeing at the coffee shop is really something. Especially when she confesses her problem, and he finds himself offering to act as her date.


Sounds simple. Stroll around the party with Shelby’s sexy curves clinging to his arm? He’s all over it. Until he meets her boss—the man who once stole and married the one woman Jake thought he loved.


Now Jake’s the one with a reason to pretend. If only to save his own pride…and Shelby from the man who could ruin her career. It’s a sweet deal that works for both of them…but a sweet deal turns sour when hearts get involved and then the truth comes out…
