I Kinda Do

Mason Chambers is not just my billionaire boss. He's also a single dad and someone I tentatively consider a friend. The kind of friend I've harbored feelings for for years--not that I'd admit that to anyone, even myself.

Everything changes when his grandfather threatens his inheritance. Mason proposes a fake relationship with an eventual trip down the aisle like it's nothing more than a business agreement.

I'd like to say I can't be bought, but I'm in no position to turn him down. Declining risks not only my job, but my relationship with his daughter, who I love like my own.

But pretending to be in love with him means playing with fire. I guess I'll have to be careful.

As careful as I can be when I'm holding a match and he shows up with gasoline. Our first "date" proves that he's as good at pretending as he is at running a company. He breaks through the barriers I've built to protect myself with a look, a smile, and a kiss that convinces me to trust him with my body, if not my heart.

It's only a matter of time before I give him that as well.

But can we convince those around us that a man of his background can love a woman like me, or will their prejudices tear us apart?
