A swoony, small town firefighter romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix! How we met: He spilled coffee on me. First date: I dragged him into a therapy session. Does that count as a date? Spoiler alert: We’re not a couple. Leo Massie is a H.O.T. hotshot firefighter. He owes me a favor after dumping coffee all over me. He’s also not my boyfriend, much less my fiancé, even though I told my therapist he is. Now, he’s my fake fiancé for reasons. My life is enough of a mess that I moved to Alaska to escape, some might say hide, but let’s not belabor the point. I didn’t plan it this way, but Leo goes along with what starts out as a small fib. We might be faking it in all kinds of ways, except how I feel is becoming very real. He’s a single dad and the best man I’ve ever met. Maybe we can fake it true. Leo & Casey’s story is perfect for readers who love: hotshot firefighters, single dad, slow burn, wounded hearts mended, fake relationship, small town shenanigans, found family, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of steam and swoon, and a cinnamon roll hero with an epic protective streak who will lay his heart on the line for the woman he loves. *A full-length, standalone romance.

"This book was an all bases loaded grand slam!!!" —Reader review It might be a fake date, but what if he’s not faking it? Loner Cole North has always been the odd guy out. His IQ is sky-high, but he’s not so bright when it comes to people or relationships. Years ago, he spurned expectations, shunned his family’s business, and embraced a career in construction instead. Now he values his job above everything, in part because of his secret feelings for his boss, Sierra. While he could never be right for her personally, he endeavors to be exactly what she needs professionally. Remodeler Sierra Lowell might be creative, hardworking, and a color-outside-the-lines thinker in her job, but there’s one line she’s never crossed. It’s tough enough to be a woman in a man’s job without adding sex or emotions to the mix. Smart, sexy Cole is without question her right-hand man, but the lines get blurred when Sierra's life is complicated with a wedding date crisis and the television opportunity of a lifetime. Cole impulsively steps up to be her go-to guy for both. When their fake date is interrupted by a family emergency, having Sierra at his side makes him realize there’s a fine line between alone and lonely and that maybe he’s ready for less of both. Can he find a way to go from being a right-hand man to the right man for her? True North is a stand-alone story with a HEA in the North Brothers series, a spin-off of the Hale Street series.

So, he said he was with Rhiannon. After all, if you’re going to fake date someone, who better than your best friend? The one and only rule when entering a fake relationship is that no one can ever let themselves develop any real feelings.
