When my best friend asked me to be his fake girlfriend in order to pursue custody of his daughter, I didn't hesitate to help out. Living together, sharing his bed, and waking up in his arms, quickly rekindle the long-forgotten childhood crush I once had on him. Only, Harrison isn't a child anymore, and neither am I. I can't ignore his charm, the way I feel in his arms, or how amazing he is with his daughter. The attraction is undeniable and so are the feelings that are growing faster than I can acknowledge them. We pretend to be the perfect family to keep up appearances. Town festivals, family gatherings, and mundane every day tasks take on a whole new meaning. I remind myself daily that our relationship isn't real, until he proposes with his grandmother's ring. Harrison is determined to prove to me that the fairy-tales are real, but I know from experience happy ever afters don't exist. How long before this happy ever after falls apart and I'm left searching for my glass slipper?

I was the bad boy that girls like her were attracted to... The new Assistant U.S. Attorney was the last person I needed in my business... or my bar. The way she walked in wearing a tight suit and red power heels, flashing that badge should be illegal. Asking her for help was a mistake. Wanting her was a complication, one that I couldn't afford. We were from two different worlds. Taylor was spoiled, privileged and in way over her head. I was just the bad boy that girls like her were attracted to, a passing phase. An itch to scratch. I was no good for her and never would be.
