Stand-alone Whisper Lake romance, complete with HEA—and plenty of heat, humor, and heart along the way! Jessa Meyers never let herself think about forever before her heart transplant. When you don't think you'll have a future, it's too painful to plan for one. But now that the stunning, blue-eyed beauty isn't "the sick girl" anymore, she's determined to dream big and make those dreams come true. Only one problem: every time she tries to dream up her "forever," all she can seem to think about is Ethan Steele. Ethan Steele knows that loving Jessa is a probably a losing proposition. She's made it clear again and again over the years that she doesn't want his attention. Only one problem: that's not what her eyes say each and every time they meet his. The sexy, brooding U.S. Marshall knows that a plan is the clearest path to success, and he has one: convince her to be his fake girlfriend for the summer. What could go wrong? 18+
