For the Long Haul
Our vows were fake. The heat? Too real.

Lately, the only action I’ve seen is between the pages of a romance novel. My flirting skills? Dewey and decaying.
So when my longtime crush needs a quickie—wedding, that is—I blurt out an offer faster than you can say “library fine.” All he needs is access to my medical benefits. What could go wrong?
Now I’m racing to the courthouse , pretending this is just a paper arrangement. But the way Jake looks at me? It’s starting to feel a lot less pretend and a whole lot more permanent.
I promised not to fall in love—but you try saying no to a sweet tow truck driver who knows how to handle curves.
Jake
After years of hauling wrecks off the highway, my body’s shot and my brain’s not far behind. I need therapy, fast—and not the kind that comes in a bottle.
Enter Natalie: sexy, soft-spoken, and stacked with killer benefits. She offers marriage like it’s no big deal, and I say yes before she can change her mind.
It’s supposed to be a marriage of convenience. But the more I spend time with her, laugh with her, wake up next to her… the more I want to make this thing real.
I told her I’d give her a ring. I just didn’t know I’d want to give her my whole damn heart.
