Synopsis

Stefan Dalca is beautiful, brooding, and bossy. He's also public enemy number one in this small town, with a murky past that's hard to overlook. And I just agreed to three fake dates with him. I may be a renowned veterinarian, but when I find myself in a sticky situation, Stefan is my last hope. I need his help to save a sick foal and what he wants in return is me. Our time together starts out as a simple transaction, but the more time I spend with him, the more I wonder if he's not quite the villain they've made him out to be. With every intimate conversation and lingering look, the tension between us builds. I've been drawn to Stefan since the first day I laid eyes on him. And now he's downright irresistible. I know sleeping with the enemy is playing with fire. But like a moth to a flame, I'm attracted to the mysterious man in a way I can't explain-in a way those closest to me wouldn't approve of or understand. And the more he softens for me, the harder I fall. But as his mysteries unravel, so do hidden truths. Truths that are bound to leave someone burned. I just didn't expect that someone to be me.
