I was supposed to help him — not marry him.
When a scarred, brooding enforcer walks into my office begging for help with a traumatized six-year-old girl, I know I should keep my distance. Samuel Cross is dangerous, tattooed, and everything I've been warned about.
But one look at his niece, and I can't walk away.
When a social worker mistakes me for his wife, he makes me an offer I shouldn't accept: a fake marriage, one year, separate bedrooms. Save the girl from foster care. Pay off my student loans. Simple.
Nothing about Samuel is simple.
Not the way he learns to braid her hair at midnight. Not the bedtime stories in funny voices. And definitely not the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching.
This was supposed to be temporary. So why does forever feel like the only option?
