Kelsey Moore had built a life as a strong independent woman. Now, a tragedy from years past was threatening to destroy all that she had worked for. She had buried her pain for years, but suddenly, it was all bubbling up to the surface and she was barely able to tread water. Just as everything seemed to be crashing in around her, she found her lifeline, and a way to continue on. Bentley. Will her crazy plan to fake an engagement to Bentley give Kelsey the strength she needed to let go of the past and look towards the future she always wanted, or will her past ruin any chance she has at love?
Bentley Davis, jackass extraordinaire. If he could have fit that tagline on his business card, he probably would have. He embraced the jackass persona he had going on. Pushing people away had become a necessary life skill for him. He had never felt the need to get close to anyone—until Kelsey came along. For the first time in a long time, he wanted more out of life. But after she drags him into her crazy scheme, Bentley becomes extremely concerned about her safety. Will he be able to protect Kelsey or will he lose her and be doomed to live a lonely life?
Can Kelsey and Bentley find the strength to overcome past trauma in each other's arms, or are they destined to forever be a shadow of their former selves? Can a relationship built on lies survive the truth coming out? Or was it doomed from the beginning?
