She’s got it all—but none of it’s real.
Finlay O’Neill is about to marry the man who’ll make her dreams come true. There’s just one problem… He’s the wrong man. The runaway bride finds herself with an unexpected getaway driver: her bad-boy high school crush.
Jude McKenna’s come home to win custody of his late best friend’s son, but who’s going to let a single, tattooed bartender adopt a little boy? Fortunately, fate drops the town’s good girl right into his lap—or at least on the back of his bike.
A fake engagement seems like the perfect solution—as long as Finlay doesn’t start believing the lie. Because Jude’s all about the open road, and she’ll never let go of her white picket fence dreams.
But, just maybe, he can show her how to break the rules while she teaches him what a real home feels like.
Finley and Jude were sweet on each other as kids, but the town bad boy didn’t want to sully Finley O’Neill’s good name. Jude thought she deserved a better man than the town bad boy, so he walked away. For years, she’s believed that he blew her off or made a joke of her when nothing could be further from the truth. As fate would have it, when Finley realizes she’s about to make a huge mistake and leaves her lying groom at the altar, Jude McKenna is the first person she sees.
In typical Jude fashion, he insists on taking care of Finley, but he’s got other responsibilities too, as the newly appointed guardian of an orphaned five-year-old. Finley wants to help Jude’s cause and invents a phony engagement to help his custody case. I’m a sucker for a fake relationship and these two delivered. I loved the characters from the first page, especially Cody. Their story is sweet and funny with a little angst and a lot of steam, and I highly recommend it. This is an amazing start to a new series, and I can’t wait for more McKenna Brothers. I’d like to thank the author for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
