Our fake romance was born from flames.
But when real feelings spark, will my real wounds destroy us?
EVAN:
I’ve been managing Calypso Key Resort, our family beachside retreat in the Florida Keys, for so long I can do it in my sleep—which isn’t what keeps me up at night. That honor goes to Liv Jacobson, the gorgeous, curvy bakery owner I’m too shy to approach. Past wounds cut deep and I’m a shadow of the man I once was.
But when fate engulfs her bakery, I offer her a refuge. And an opportunity to get to know her better. When I spin a panicked tale of needing a fake relationship, Liv shocks me further by playing along.
Every shared secret, every pretend kiss kindles a blaze that becomes dangerously real. But when my unresolved past explodes, I push everyone away, including Liv. How could a fake relationship have turned so real?
Because now, it's no longer a game—it's our shot at forever.
BECAUSE OF YOU is part of the Calypso Key series, where happy endings always come with a steamy tropical twist! Can pretend lovers become real, and can love triumph over the deepest scars? Dive in and find out in this interconnected standalone.
