Luc “Cookie” Doux + Elise Cordero
As owner of Silverton’s donut shop, I’ve surrounded myself with sugar, spice, and all things nice. Which is perfect, because donuts and friends never let a girl down. Unlike men.
I might’ve struck a line through relationships past and future, but when my no-good ex tries to ruin my present, the last thing I expect is for a man to step in. He’s the mysterious, gorgeous half-French member of the Saint Security team, and somehow, now my boyfriend…?
Jean-Luc Doux needs a fake girlfriend, and I fit the bill, apparently. Actually, he needs a fake fiancee. The last thing I’m signing up for is a relationship, but since this is all pretend, I’ve got a guardrail keeping my heart safe in this ridiculous fantasy.
Until lines blur thanks to our growing friendship and an only one bed situation. This man makes me feel things I assumed I never would again. More than anything, he makes me feel safe.
Suddenly, I’m not so sure my battered heart isn’t at risk of falling for him. He’s solid and gentle and real in a way I never expected, and I’m in greater danger than I ever realized when I agreed to this deal.
