My Damaged Pretend Fiancé

A Small-Town Military Romance

Liam Stone is the town's most brooding ex-military hero, with a body built for sin and a past he won't talk about.

I'm twenty-one, untouched, and the quiet bartender everyone whispers about but never really sees.
We shouldn't even be in the same room.

So how did he become my fiancé?
Well... fake fiancé.

He's all scars and shadows—the kind of man who doesn't do forever.

But when I'm desperate and threatened, he offers his name like a shield. No questions asked.
The deal is simple: he gets a reprieve from his family's meddling, and I get a shot at rewriting my story—and escaping this small town for good.

All I have to do is wear his ring, and act like I can't stop touching him in public.

But it's what happens when no one's watching that sets my skin on fire.
He touches me like he owns me. Kisses me like he's drowning and I'm air.

And when danger threatens, Liam stops pretending, he's not giving me up.

Now he wants forever and I want to believe him—even when our pasts resurface to tear us apart.
