Don’t Call Me Daddy by Jeré Anthony

My family was never supposed to meet my fake fiancee.
Except she just walked into my hospital room, looking just as surprised as I am.
All because of one white lie. They think we’ve been together for a year, but I only met her last night.
I panicked after my father didn’t name me as the next CEO of our family’s billion-dollar company. His reasoning was that “I care *too* much about work”. In fact, the whole small town we live in thinks I’m too rigid and too serious.
I just need to convince everyone I can loosen up and enjoy myself.
They might believe the lie, but I know what happens when I get distracted.
Besides, Ivy is too young for me and too bright & optimistic about the world.
It’s only supposed to be for a month. She’ll live with me and I’ll put up with her teasing.
I can’t let myself fall in love with my fiancee no matter how tempting her smart mouth…
But when she calls me “Daddy”, I know I’m ruined for anyone else.
