Linc Blaise needed the perfect fiancée to win his dream job, but finding a woman who’d be convincing in a charade seemed impossible—until he heard Daisy Flattery charm her way out of a sticky situation. Playing the prim and proper bride-to-be was a lark to the dazzling storyteller, but once she glimpsed the touching vulnerability Linc tried to hide, pretense turned into temptation. Could she find a way to make their fairy tale last? Daisy made him believe in wondrous possibilities, and drew him into a world of passionate abandon, but was he brave enough to give her his love?

"It took me a few chapters to get into it, but the humor kept me going, and I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would at the beginning. The story is written with a dry sense of humor that grew on me through the pages. It was a sweet story - it could make a cute movie."

— Melissa, 1/8/2012" This was a cute and funny romance that can be read in a couple of hours but there were a handful of pages that got a bit too steamy. It didn't hurt the story to just skip them. At least they were married. :) "
