Can two self-reliant people manage to fake their way through an engagement without catching real feelings?
Jax Carter has been through her share of crappy situations. But an IBS flare-up catching her in a wrong-place, wrong-time situation while the rest of her life crumbles around her is a new low. Next thing she knows, she’s the fake fiancée of Preston Brandt, a title she accepted to save his job. Suddenly, a place to stay and a new professional opportunity have fallen into Jax’s lap. It’ll just require her to let down her steel-enforced walls enough to pretend she’s in love with a near-stranger.
Preston Brandt’s boss may be the biggest jerk in the Senate, but serving as his Chief of Staff is the last stepping-stone before Preston’s own run for Congress. At least, it should be, assuming he doesn��t develop a stress ulcer or get fired for bringing an unapproved journalist into his office first. Now, Preston finds himself with a fake fiancée who may just be the solution to his professional problems. He’ll simply need to ignore the feelings she stirs up he assumed were long dead.
Surviving their fake engagement in front of their colleagues will be hard enough. Convincing Preston’s nosy brothers they’re in love without falling themselves will take everything they’ve got.
In these pages you’ll find a fake engagement, only one bed (and only one room), DC references, gossipy brothers, a few open-door steamy scenes, lots of laughs, and even more heart. Happily ever after guaranteed!
