Her recipe calls for a pinch of pretend. His dash of desire brings the heat! Jacqui Fontaine is sugar and spice and—at first impression—not so nice. But as a former bomb squad expert, I like to play with fire. When she needs a temporary husband to secure ownership of her family restaurant, she goes first to her trifling ex. Thankfully, the idiot rejects her proposal. That's when I step in. I might be a Wounded Warrior, but I still fit the bill. And I've made sure she has no other choice. We need to make it look real, she tells me. It was real for me the first time I laid eyes on her, her curvy figure, and her fiery nature. But this independent woman would run if she found out my feelings for her were real. So I'll keep up the façade that I don't like her when the truth is everything she does fascinates me. I'll keep fighting with her and using our fake marriage status to steal kisses that leave us both breathless. I'll even sabotage the furniture so that there's only one working bed in the house that we'll have to share. Because I'm on a mission to make my wife fall in love with me. The Marriage Mission is a sizzling, sweet romance with no steam. The damsels agree to a marriage of convenience, but the heroes have no intentions of letting them out of the agreement—ever.
