When my dad passes at the end of my sophomore year of college, one of his best friends, Declan, moves in with me to help pay the bills while I finish school. I’ve long had a crush on the ranch hand and Dad’s other best friend, Kason, who works the oil fields out west, but being half their age means I’m off limits, and they’ll never see me the way I do them. That doesn’t stop me from taking every opportunity I can to touch them, massaging Declan’s back after a hard day’s work, and hanging out with Kason whenever he comes back into town.
 

Ready to settle down but frustrated by one bad date after another, Declan swears off dating and searching for “the one”, and I find the bravery to offer something else besides a massage. All Declan has to do is pretend I’m his wife and not his best friend’s daughter…and so will Kason if he wants to join us.

Pretend I’m Yours is a deliciously over-the-top, 23k-word romance novelette where the spice *is* the plot. All characters are 18+. Please read the Author’s Note at the beginning of the book. Happily ever after guaranteed.
