A swoony firefighter romance from USA Today bestselling author J. H. Croix! Problem: My ex is marrying my ex-bestie. Plan A: Burn the church down? Plan B: Fake marry my friend. I haven't seen Archer since fifth grade, but when he shows up in our tiny hometown and offers me a ring, I don't ask too many questions. It's a win-win: I get to save face, and I'm not about to turn down the chance to one-up my ex. All Archer has to do is sell the lie when my ex and his blushing bride roll into town. Easy. Except now I'm fake-married to a ridiculously hot guy who has his own reasons for needing a wife. I'm too cynical to fall for anyone, but Archer makes that delectably difficult. He keeps saying we're just pretending, but let me tell you, there are definitely things we are not faking. This was never supposed to be real. Until he whispers, fall for me. Contains mature themes.
