August's Bad Boy: Garner

Sometimes the only thing more dangerous than falling in love… is pretending you haven’t.

Olivia

Pretending to be married to my tattooed, brooding best friend was supposed to be easy. Just one weekend, one shared bed, and one little white lie to help uncover a small-town conspiracy. But the second Garner wraps his arm around me in public, everything changes. The touches feel too real. The way he looks at me makes my pulse race. And when he kisses me? I fall harder than I ever meant to. Now the whole town thinks we eloped. I wish we had, because I don’t know how to go back to being just friends when my heart’s already his.

Garner

I’ve loved Olivia for years… in silence, in sketches, in every quiet moment she never knew she owned. She’s all warmth and sunshine, way too good for a guy like me. But when she asks me to pose as her husband, I agree. I can never say no to her. Now we’re sharing a bed, faking a love that feels too real, and walking a line I swore I’d never cross. Losing her would break me. But loving her in silence? That’s what’s killing me.
