I’m not the ‘damsel in distress’ any longer, but I love being a brat to my childhood crush turned boy I love to hate.
Once upon a time, Theo Gerard, my big brother’s best friend, rescued me. Or more accurately, put a band-aid on my skinned knee and promised to marry me if he wasn’t by the time he turned thirty when I was eight years old.
When I needed him most my freshman year in college, he treated me like I didn’t matter and ever since, I’ve hated him. Six years later, he’s playing for the Montreal Triumph, needs a nanny and an image makeover. So, I agree to be his fake fiancée if he helps promote Book Boyfriends & Lattes with his hockey-player-who-reads-romance followers.
That doesn’t mean I planned on making it easy for him. And I loved to push his buttons every chance I got. But then, he showed me what happens when I let my brat out a little too often.
Is the way he looks at me just for show, or has the boy I once loved showed up again when I least expected it and become the perfect book boyfriend?
