The Bourne Matrimonial Agency has one rule:
Never fall in love with a client, which shouldn't be a
problem when one’s faking an engagement to the rogue across
the street . . .
Ainsley Bourne needs the family business to
succeed. But one obstacle stands in her way—Reed Sterling,
the huge, handsome, former prize fighter and owner of the
gaming hell across the street. His scandalous customers
scare off all her marriage-minded patrons and since the
devilish brute has no intention of relocating, she sets out
to ruin his unsavory establishment. Yet when a vile suitor
from her past reappears, Ainsley hastily claims an
attachment to the first man who comes to mind . . . Mr.
Sterling, to be exact.
Reed doesn’t know who is more surprised by Miss Bourne’s
declaration. She clearly hates him, and he’d never admit
their arguments simmer with unrequited attraction. Something
about the pleading look in her eyes calls to Reed, and
against his better judgment, he quickly plays the part of
the besotted fiancé.
Pretending to be in love requires a convincing charade. But
with each tantalizing touch and every scandalous kiss,
Ainsley starts to wonder if Reed was ever really the enemy
at all.
