The Sweet Spot
Bella Matthews · Playing to Win #4
She agrees to fake-marry her childhood crush to help him keep his daughter — but the feelings are anything but fake.
Description
A fake marriage with a single dad wasn't on my dance card but there are worse ways to start the summer.Our story didn’t begin the night I agreed to marry Deacon Kane to help him keep his daughter. It started ten years ago, with a hotshot hockey player I couldn’t wait to see each summer. He was big, broad, and filled out his board shorts so damn nicely. But holy hell... The memories of teenage Deacon don’t hold a candle to the man he is now, the one who makes me melt each time he says, "my wife." What was supposed to be a marriage of convenience quickly spirals into something else. Something I can’t control. Because this man makes me feel alive in a way I haven’t felt in months, and I want more.More sparks.More life.More time.Can a relationship based on lies last... Especially when I’m the one keeping all the secrets?
