"As soon as you're safe, I'm going to spank you."

Those are the last words Matty McGuire says to me before punching a man, tossing me into an SUV, and peeling out of Bad Dog like a bat out of hell.

And I am outraged, I tell you. Outraged!

And desperately turned on…

I don't want to lust after Matty. He's stubborn, bossy, secretive, and leaving the country in a few weeks.

Unfortunately, he's also my lifelong crush. Loyal. Heroic. And dangerously competent.

Whether he's defending me from horny squirrels, kissing me until the local haunted house isn't so scary, or pretending this fake-marriage-bodyguard situation is no big deal, Matty McGuire does it for me.

He always has.

But when his secrets turn out to be the kind that could get a girl tossed into Witness Protection, I realize I'm in way over my head.

Can I make love work with a sexy jerk who is actually a sexy spy? Or will this red-hot weekend on the run from the mob be our first chance……and our last?

Matty McGuire Is Faking This is a steamy romantic comedy featuring a fake marriage, a lifelong crush, a grumpy ex-CIA protector, a judgmental Persian cat, suspicious donuts, and a happily ever after with ALL the heart.

Welcome to Bad Dog, Minnesota. Hot heroes. Big-hearted heroines. Nosy families. Mischievous animals. Small-town chaos. And the kind of love that changes everything.
