When childhood enemies collide, can pretend feelings turn real?

The boy who used to tease me mercilessly when we were kids somehow thinks he can just show up in the middle of the night at the beach house I’m renovating.

Well, Navy SEAL or not, there’s no way I’m letting Brogan Hollister stay over just because he wants to avoid his mother’s matchmaking plans.

But since I’m no meanie like Brogan, I let him stay one night only to have him tell his mother the next morning that he and I have been seeing each other for the last six months.

If this is his attempt at discouraging his mother’s matchmaking plans for him, it’s short-lived because I’m leaving for New York in three days, so he’ll just be back on the market again (haha! So there, Brogan!).

But pretending to date a Navy SEAL with bulging biceps and a gorgeous, muscled (and tattooed) torso comes with its own challenges. Like the fact that Brogan has changed from the mean boy I used to know, and his desire to take our fake relationship into real territory has me wondering if, under different circumstances, we’d ever have a chance.
