Bought in an auction by a shy baker? No problem.
Pretending to be her boyfriend for her sister's wedding? On it.
I can pretend all day long because I'm Thatcher Manning, the guy who doesn't do relationships.
I'll give a woman a wild romp. Hell, I'll give her anything. Anything but my heart.
I decided a long time ago I'd never get serious with a woman.
The fact that I'm leaving town in a few months only cements that decision.
But then Astrid has to get under my skin. She hands over the reins in bed-and out-and now I'm catching feelings.
The kind you can't fake.
Trouble is-I wasn't playing for keeps. Now, that's a problem. A big one.
