King Family #2

contemporary romance(18k)

A sunny single mom proposes a fake marriage to her grumpy criminal-record-having brewer boss — strictly business, obviou

Description

You might think it’s reckless for a single mom to enter into a marriage of convenience with her boss...You would be correct.To make matters worse, Abel King is a grumpy local brewer with a criminal past. He also happens to be my boss and a total stick-in-the-mud. Every time I come to work with a smile and wave, I’m lucky if I can get a grunt in response.When I accidentally-on-purpose overhear that he’s having trouble securing a business loan due to his criminal record, I hatch a plan to help the both of us.The arrangement is perfect—a business transaction and nothing more. Like having a roommate without the hassle of other people bugging you for dates.I will definitely not be falling in love with him—no matter how many times he says “my wife” and tingles dance in all the right places.Trouble is, as time goes on, things stop feeling like business and start feeling a whole lot like pleasure... and really, that’s just my luck...
