One Chance

<p><strong>Fake dating my best friend? Total disaster.</strong></p><p>With his cocky grin and devilish charm firefighter Lee Sullivan makes every woman in our small town swoon. Every woman except for me.</p><p>Which is why I'm shocked when he steps in at the town's Matchmaker's Gala and outbids my crush during the charity auction committing us to six prearranged dates.</p><p><strong>Six dates where we <em>very publicly</em> pretend to be falling in love.</strong></p><p>Despite my objections and our efforts to set each other up with other people Lee is convinced <em>pretending to date each other</em> is the perfect opportunity to get the women in town off his back (and out of his bed) while also helping to nudge my non-committal crush in the jealousy department.</p><p>Stupidly I agree.</p><p>After the disastrous blind dates he set me up on what's a few months of letting Lee worship the ground I walk on? He owes me.</p><p><strong>Trouble is--every fake kiss every lingering touch every filthy word he whispers when no one is around--is starting to feel very very real.</strong></p><p>We know everything about each other--from my orphaned past to his irrational hatred of dolls. The only secret I have ever kept from Lee spans all the way back to his time in the Army and it's the one thing that could ruin our friendship forever.</p><p>Because where Lee is concerned I have learned to guard my heart. Suddenly he's asking for the opportunity to feel something real. <strong>He's asking for the one thing he wouldn't want if he ever knew the truth: <em>one chance</em>.</strong></p>
