A BWWM Novella It happened in a flash. One minute, I was making coffee in the office, and the next I’m dying in the back seat of my car while my boss races to the hospital. There I lay, in cubicle three, praying that it’s just severe cramps and I’m not passing out a whale, when he walks in. All six-foot-four, broad-shouldered deliciousness in a lab coat. My gynecologist. He doesn’t date patients and I don’t get with men who’ve seen me naked before the first date. But resisting our sizzling attraction is more than I can handle. By the time he leaves, I’ve decided. The doctor will just have to make an exception.

"Would you marry me?" Sometimes, the end justifies the means. At least, that's what I tell myself when I ask Shane Kelly to be my fake-husband. But he's a little too good at acting. And when your pretend hubby, who is six-foot-four with chocolate eyes and drool-worthy abs earned from long hours working construction—seriously, the man is ripped—wants to immerse himself in his character, well... you don't say no. You say yes. Hell yes. Six weeks—that's all I've got until it's over. Soon, it starts to feel like I've stumbled on something real, but I'm afraid that Shane's still playing pretend. Marriage was never on his radar. Can I convince him to ditch the single life and make an honest woman of me?

Love is never black and white. When it came to dating, I had one rule—my boyfriend loved me more than I loved him. Simple. That way I didn't get hurt. But one man shattered my resolve. Elliot White. My best friend from college who became so much more. After we graduated, I flew back to Belize and I thought I'd never see Elliot again. Now, he's back in my life... while I'm wearing another man's ring. I shouldn't be this drawn to him but, deep down, I can't let him go. I've been down this road before, and this time I have my fiancé to consider. What if I break my rule, only for Elliot to break my heart... again?
