Crazy Love by Willow Aster

Penn Hudson. Sexy. Intense. Gorgeous.

The star running back of the Colorado Mustangs.

Well-known playboy and consummate bachelor.

We met in the Bahamas.

I knew exactly who he was.

He had no idea who I was.

Yet for a few blissful hours, it didn’t matter.

We had an unbelievable connection…

Something special that held so much promise.

Then I unexpectedly had to leave and never had a chance to say goodbye.

Fast-forward to today, when I am about to see Penn again,

and he’s going to find out exactly who he was kissing in the Bahamas.

I’m excited about my new job and returning to my hometown of Silver Hills.

But seeing him every day won’t be easy,

especially with the lingering memory of his touch and the attraction that still burns between us.

When he faces an obstacle in adopting a young boy he’s mentored for years,

I offer him a solution I never thought I’d make:

A fake marriage.

He needs to show stability and a squeaky-clean public image,

and I figure, how hard could it be to play house?

But as time goes by, nothing feels fake anymore.

I’d always planned on getting married for love,

but sometimes we make once-in-a-lifetime sacrifices.

I just hope I won’t be devastated in the process.
