The engagement is fake, but the feelings are real!
“You have to marry me.” As far as proposals go, a demanding plea for marriage is hardly what every girl dreams of. Especially since it comes from her nemesis and best friend’s younger brother Delta Jackson. But it’s the only one Cassandra Brown gets and she’s desperate. She has six months to nab a husband or she’ll lose her grandmother’s house, the only place she’s ever called home.
Del knows Cassie is in a pickle, but so is he. He needs cash to fund his restaurant and prove himself to his family, but no bank will give him a loan. Seems to him they could solve both of their problems. He’ll play the doting fiancé and she’ll give him the startup money, everyone gets what they want.
But soon the two realize their desires aren’t what they first thought and their years of feuding have been hiding a volcanic attraction that’s poised to explode, taking their fake relationship into very real territory.
Sometimes being bad can be oh so good!
Growing up with three brothers, Charlie Jackson had to be tough. Some might call her the B word, but she simply defends those who need it. Unfortunately, not everyone sees her protection as defense. Like the judge who ordered her to take anger management classes after she messed up her jerk ex’s car. Not a problem, a few months pretending to listen to a bunch of people talk about accessing feelings should go down as smooth as the vodka her family makes at their distillery.
Luc Woolf knows all about harboring anger at the world. Growing up with a father who liked the bottle more than his family, he suffered his fair share of rage. But he gave up that emotion long ago when he realized anger did nothing but make a person miserable. These days, he keeps a cool head and helps others process their emotions as a therapist. However, when he volunteers to moderate an anger management course, he meets the one person who tests his careful control, Charlie Jackson.
The two couldn’t be more at odds, but they can’t deny the scorching heat between them. This bad girl wants to show this good boy how much fun breaking the rules can be. After all, opposites attract. But when the struggles of real life interrupt their fun times, will their differences pull them apart or bond them together?
