Posing as half of a fake couple seems like a fun idea, if only it wasn’t with him.
Henry doesn’t want to be in Glamour, not after moving far away to overcome a difficult, if privileged, childhood. He’s no longer that pudgy kid desperate to escape his hometown, but it still holds painful memories. When his recently widowed mother needs him, however, “dependable Henry” does the right thing—even if it means leaving his job at the IRS to take a boring corporate position. But things don’t stay boring for long. Soon Henry finds himself taking extraordinary measures to help the local sheriff’s department unravel a crime.
Deputy Locke may be new to the Sheriff’s Department of Glamour, but he’s fought his way up in the world and is determined to make a good impression. He keeps his personal life private, even from his beloved younger brother. Set in his ways, Locke knows better than most the need to protect what’s his. He especially knows not to give away his heart. Emotions are of no use to him, and he keeps them well-buried.
Henry resents the arrogant, gorgeous cop, and Locke finds Henry to be sheltered and spoiled. A secret and steamy encounter adds to their animosity while stirring up feelings neither counted on. The two join forces, and as the case gets complicated, so does the fine line between love and hate. Both men think a relationship would be catastrophic, but the white-hot passion between them is all too real. Could Henry and Locke be more than a hookup gone wrong?
NOTE: This book is #3 in a series, The Guy Series. However, it can be read as a standalone. This book was previously published under the same title. The new edition has been reformatted, with new front and back matter, but the overall story is the same.
