Fragile Illusion

Summary

It started with a lie.  A story to clean up his bad-boy reputation. But he never bargained on falling for the girl. Thatcher Stag doesn't give a sh*t what his family thinks. He works hard, sells his art for a f*ck-ton of money, and celebrates with the ladies. But his brothers just won't ease up, so he blurts out the first thing that comes to mind. It seemed like such a small deception to get his family off his back. Only now, he needs to find a fake fiancé. Emma Cheswick would do anything to get ahead in her newspaper job...except maybe spend time alone with notorious womanizer Thatcher Stag. When Thatcher makes a pass, she tries to turn down the assignment, but her boss gives her an ultimatum: Interview Thatcher, or find someplace else to work. They strike a dangerous deal: Emma plays the part, and Thatcher gives her the scoop she needs to keep her job. The illusion seems shatterproof until Thatcher shows Emma the cracks in his inked-up armor, and she reveals a secret about her health. Can she stick to the rules, or does he have a new plan in mind?  Fragile Illusion is a stand-alone contemporary romance with scorching heat and a guaranteed HEA.
