PROTECTED BY MY SILVER FOX FAKE BOYFRIEND

He's the new kid on the block. Strong, sexy, older. And he just pretended to be my boyfriend. The new paramedic just took the Emergency ward by storm—and my heart along with it.

A split-second lie to get a strung-out patient off my back.

It worked. He saved me. And now, he's my hero.

All broad shoulders, steady hands, and silver-streaked temptation—the kind of man who looks like he walked off the cover of a first responder calendar and into my dangerously off-limits fantasies.

I won’t lie—I feel a pull between us. And everyone else sees it too. They think we should be a thing.

Too bad I have one unbreakable rule: never fall for a coworker.

I learned that the hard way. Last time, I had to pack up my life, uproot my son, and start over in a new town. I swore I wouldn’t make that mistake again.

I try to keep it casual, but he keeps showing up when I need him most. Steady. Gallant. Protective.

And I can’t say I hate it. 

Suddenly, keeping my rule seems impossible. 

Then the roles reverse, and I’m the one pacing hospital halls—my son’s life hanging in the balance, my heart in my throat—and the only person I trust to hold me together is the man I swore I wouldn’t fall for. 

I knocked on her door and took a step back. The door swung open, and Sophie stood there wearing a silver silk robe that came down to her mid-thigh. 

Without saying a word, I grabbed her around the waist and pressed my lips against hers.  She reciprocated without hesitation, and without breaking the kiss, I moved her against the wall. She wrapped her arms around my neck as she kissed back, and, in doing so, released the hold she had on the front of her robe. 

"Sophie and Paul had me fully rooting for them and completely invested in what was developing between them. The chemistry was powerful and put me through all of the emotions. There were plenty of times I was laughing and then crying right after. They had me experiencing everything. And there was some suspense that kept me hooked that was happening as well. This book was such a good mixture of so many things and I absolutely loved it. It's one I will be reading again."
