Pretend You Love Me is a steamy, grumpy/sunshine small-town romance sure to delight romance readers looking for new twists on a classic trope.

Kip Anderson is a man with secrets. Secrets that have kept him stuck in place for five years – angry with the world. When he stumbles upon a beautiful woman wrecked into a ditch on the side of the road, he knows she’s hiding something too. He can’t shake the feeling he knows her from somewhere, but he can’t place her. She’s a royal pain – the last thing he needs in his life right now. Everything about her spells trouble, but he can’t seem to stay away.

He knows one thing for sure.

She’s in trouble and needs his help.

Brooklyn Sterling, the President’s sister, is desperate to keep her identity secret. She’s on a mission – a secret mission to uncover the truth about her past. No one – not even her siblings can know where she is and what she’s doing. When she arrives in a small town in Alaska searching for answers, she plans to stay out of sight, but that plan quickly unravels when she gets rescued from a car accident by the grumpiest man she’s ever met. Handsome, no doubt, but an outrageous grump who seems to resent her very existence.

After Brooklyn gets entangled with the local police, Kip steps in and does something he immediately regrets. He pretends they are together – his long-distance girlfriend. Worse, through a misunderstanding in town, everyone believes she’s come to town because she and Kip are trying to get pregnant. Even though she’s furious with him, she decides to play along to keep her identity secret.

As Brooklyn draws closer to finding the truth about her past, the attraction between the two just grows. Kip doesn’t believe a word she’s telling him about who she is and why she’s here, but they agree to indulge their attraction anyway – with rules.

It’s just a fling – short term. Nothing more.

Built entirely on secrets and lies.

Once secrets come to light, they must grapple with what it means for their relationship. Brooklyn will not stop until she finds what she’s looking for even if it puts her life in danger. Kip can’t stay away from her even though the demons of his past threaten any future they might have together.
