They say you should never pretend to date someone you're actually falling for, but Pine Valley's most eligible firefighter makes that impossible. When my aunt won't stop nagging about my single status, I let Max Thompson pose as my boyfriend at a family gathering. With his military background and devastating good looks, he seems perfect for the role. But what starts as pretend quickly becomes real when a pregnancy test turns positive. Now, the man who was supposed to be my fake boyfriend is actually the father of my child. With his dangerous job and my own insecurities, can I trust that this isn't just his hero complex kicking in? Will the man who runs into burning buildings be brave enough to build a real future with me? Curvy Girl and the Ex-Military Firefighter is a short, sweet, and steamy small town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Pine Fire Department
