He’s falling hard…right into the walls she's put up between them. Former Army Captain Vanessa Emerson wants one thing. Control. After being held captive by terrorists, her world is still wrapped in anxiety and PTSD, and the last thing she needs is a man. Especially not Damian Scott: billionaire developer, philanthropist, and walking suit ad. But when he makes her an offer she can’t refuse to head a housing project for disabled veterans, suddenly he’s got a new title—Boss. Worse, he’s far too charming for his own good and has a habit of pushing all her buttons. Damian Scott has everything money can buy, except the one thing he craves: a woman who challenges him. Vanessa. Smart, irreverent, and utterly unimpressed by his wealth, she’s the only person who makes him feel like a real man instead of a walking bank account. When the town matchmaker gives them both a love prediction, Damian finally has a little help to prove to Vanessa that he’s more than a suit with a fortune—and that what she’s been avoiding looks a lot like love.

The only thing real about their fake relationship? The chemistry. Calypso Elliot creates chaos wherever she goes, a hurricane in a handbasket who came to Superstition Springs to restart her life, not attract the attention of a stalker. The last thing she expects is for Garrison Rockwell to jump at the chance to play her fake boyfriend-slash-bodyguard. He attends to her every need. Takes care of her and her problems. It’s so…sexy. Ex-Navy SEAL Garrison Rockwell likes everything in its place and structures his life in this tiny Texas town to ensure it stays that way. It makes no sense why he’d be so intensely attracted to a hot mess like Calypso Elliot. They’re totally incompatible. But faking things is so much fun, it’s easy to forget. Except Calypso is the opposite of a woman Garrison can build a normal, non-chaotic life with. She’s not so sure he can handle a woman like her long term, either. There’s no way this can last forever…even if they fall for each other.
