Faking It with my GRUMPY OFF-LIMITS NEIGHBOR

Getting pregnant after losing my virginity on a steamy one-night stand was not the plan.

Craig was my brother’s best friend, our next-door neighbor, and therefore off-limits.

One reckless night, I gave him my V-card, which changed everything.

Then he left for college, and I left town carrying a secret for over a decade.

Now I’m back, broke, and forced to work alongside Craig at my family’s construction company.

He’s still grumpy, all muscles, and glares.

But I can’t forget his sizzling kisses, hands on my body, and tenderness that night.

One stumble on-site, and I’m in his arms, one breath away from another bad decision.

When threatened with a hostile takeover, we reluctantly agree to a fake marriage

to merge and defend our businesses.

But it feels less fake every day, because I’ve fallen for him.

I’m in his house.

His bed.

Protecting a secret that could destroy everything.

Once Craig finds out I had his child, this house of cards won’t just collapse—

It’ll take my heart too.
