A fake relationship. That’s what I’ve been relegated to in order to keep my family off my back. Deke Hart is a complete and total jerk, so why am I going to a family function as his fake girlfriend? That’s easy to answer. I owe him after he helped me out of a jam. There’s only one problem. He’s easy on the eyes. When Deke isn’t talking, he’s doing amazing things to my body. I have a past, don’t we all? Am I letting it rule my future? Sure. Do I have a chip on my back because of it? Yes. Am I using Kelsey in more ways than one? Absolutely. What I’m unprepared for is that I’m the one going after Kelsey, securing a future with her, when all it seems she’s wanting is to keep things platonic between us. It’s the moment so many have been waiting for and boy, does it pack a punch, literally. In this story you’ll get Deke’s story, the woman who won’t take his attitude lying down, and a man that has met his match in every way possible.
