Playing Pretend
Stubborn. Sassy. Insubordinate.
She’s a headache in stilettos leaned over the fax machine.
Firing my assistant should have solved all my problems. Right?
Wrong. Turns out we’ll need a fake marriage for that.
I should have fired Eliza Jenkins the night she overstepped her qualifications in a high-profile client meeting.
Or the time she called me stuffy, uptight and grumpy to my face.
It’s her luscious mouth, her chocolate eyes and her voluptuous curves that really drive me crazy, though.
Eventually, my control snaps. I send her packing, pink-slip in hand.
My company is better off without the mouthy firecracker anyway. At least that’s what I’ve been trying to believe.
Except now, a multi-million dollar deal is on the line and she’s the only one who can help me save it.
I’ve got a new assignment for Ms. Sassy. Be my fake wife. Or else.
But if anyone is up to the task, it’s her.
I mean—Eliza Jenkins is an overachiever. Smart. Headstrong. Full of great ideas. Looks great leaned over the fax machine.
Um…Forget I mentioned that last one.
I’m Liam Kline. Focused. Ambitious. Master of self-control. I can resist Eliza.
My sole focus is closing this deal. I’ll work her hard, putting in long hours in the bedroom.
Err, boardroom. I mean, boardroom.
Eliza is the ultimate distraction. With her, I’ve met my match.
But when she suddenly quits me for good, I’m not willing to let her go.
If I don’t get her back as my secretary? This whole deal will fall through…
If I don’t get her back as my wife? Psht. I’m not even willing to consider that.
Playing Pretend is a steamy, witty, laugh-out-loud, grumpy boss, fake marriage romance. It is set in small town Iowa and is book two in the Playboys of Sin Valley series.
