One stolen kiss was all it took to break my heart. One fake romance could put it back together again.
The guy I crushed on ever since I was a pimple-faced teen is about to take his clothes off in front of me. It's no big deal. Just golden skin and bulging muscles honed from his previous years in the Army. This won't be any different from any other man I've seen running around without clothes on at the new Hot Derby Nights All-Male Revue in Kissing Springs.

But this is Andrew Stockey, my older brother's best friend and former captain of the high school baseball team, who never acknowledged I even existed. Except that one night after my graduation party, when he stole my heart with a kiss.

He still avoids me, years later, now that he's back in our small town, and we're even working together. Until his popularity rises being a part of the Hot Derby Nights. When he suddenly faces too much female attention around town, I fall into being a convenience as his fake girlfriend. Soon, we make a deal that'll benefit us both, and promise nothing will change, just two friends helping each other out.

But things do change. I want him all for me, for real, forever.

How can I get Andrew to acknowledge his true feelings run deeper for me than he cares to admit?

Enjoy this steamy low-angst summer romance standalone set in the small town of Kissing Springs.
