One Chance - Lena Hendrix

Descriere

nFake dating my best friend? Total disaster.n nWith his cocky grin and devilish charm, firefighter Lee Sullivan makes every woman in our small town swoon. Every woman except for me.n nWhich 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.n nSix dates where we, very publicly, pretend to be falling in love.n nDespite my objections and our efforts to set each other up with other people, Lee is convinced pretending to date each other 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.n nStupidly, I agree.n nAfter 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.n nTrouble is--every fake kiss, every lingering touch, every filthy word he whispers when no one is around--is starting to feel very, very real.n nWe 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.n nBecause where Lee is concerned, I have learned to guard my heart. Suddenly, he's asking for the opportunity to feel something real. He's asking for the one thing he wouldn't want if he ever knew the truth: one chance.n
