Raising my daughter is my only focus until my ex returns.

He’s hellbent on getting us back, and I refuse to make the same mistake twice.

Then I kiss Liam.

A shadow fairy. My brother’s bestfriend. My boss.

The bad boy of bad boys.

Wrapped in his strong arms, unbridled desire paralyzed me.

Unmistakable security made me forget we can’t be more than friends.

And in the heat of the moment, I ask him to pretend to be in a relationship.

To protect my daughter.

But fake dating Liam might be the death of me or the beginning of us.
