Fake It True

Wild Fire Series, Book 3

By: J.H. Croix

Narrated by: Scott Rose, Jade Valentine

How we met: He spilled coffee on me.

First date: I dragged him into my therapy session. Does that even count?

Spoiler alert: We're definitely not a couple.

Leo Massie is a smoking-hot firefighter. Literally. He also owes me after dousing me in coffee. But instead of a simple favor, I might have accidentally told my therapist he's my fiancé. Oops.

Now, Leo—single dad, small-town hero, and the most maddeningly good man I've ever met—is playing along. What started as a tiny white lie is spiraling into something I wish were real. The way he looks at me? The way he takes care of everyone around him? The way he makes me feel? None of that feels fake.

I came to Alaska to escape my past. I never expected to find a man willing to stand beside me through it. Maybe we're just pretending. Or maybe . . . we can fake it true.

Contains mature themes.
