Danielle Wheaton, aka Dani, doesn’t know how to tell her loving yet meddling family she’s no longer pursuing her PhD. Instead of working on her dissertation, she’s secretly published a series of successful historical romance novels under a pen name. Sexy firefighter, Joe James, needs a girlfriend fast. Not a real girlfriend, just a pretend one to shake off the relentless pursuit from his boss’s wife who won’t take no for an answer. Who better to be his partner in subterfuge than Dani whose reviewers have demanded a more open door sensuality to her novels that she’d love to provide except for her lack in inspiration? A bargain is struck…a little pretend romance, a little sexy research, and a little or a lot of after hours naughtiness. Just one problem…Dani’s protective older brother is Joe’s best friend who may or may not have a problem with his best friend doing dirty things to his little sister.
