Becoming millionaire comic artist Zakery Bachelor’s muse was not on my bucket list.
Though, to be fair, neither was tumbling into his lap while running from my ex. At a comic con. In a furry costume disguise.
When Zakery suggests we fake date for a month and make an appearance at a Creator’s Ball to prove something to my ex, I oblige for the sake of closure. I don’t expect the resulting craft store dates, endearing nicknames, or realization that my last relationship wasn’t just a trainwreck—it was abusive.
But the more I learn about Zakery and his family’s dark past, the more I understand what real love looks like, and the harder it is to pretend I don’t have feelings for him.
This partnership may have started with a con; however, I think it’s ending with a wedding.
