Faking it with #41

Fake.
Being the heir to Jacobs Enterprises, I’ve been around fake
people my entire life. I promised myself a long time ago that I
wouldn’t change for anyone. Which is the only reason I’m a professional
hockey player who lives on the beach and does as he pleases without
answering to anyone—except my father.
And now, my daughter.
Being a single dad wasn’t in the plan but after a one-night stand who took off after the baby was born, this is my reality.
My
dad’s been harping on me to quit hockey and join the company for years
and now that I’m a father, he’s only intensified his efforts. Until he
makes me a deal I can’t refuse.
Insert Lena Boyd, the Jacobs’ family PR rep. She’s beautiful and intelligent and not at all the woman for me—ask anyone.
My
dad needs us to act happily engaged and sell the idea that we’re in
love. If we’re successful I won’t have to join the family legacy—ever.
Of course, I agree.
That’s when things get complicated. I thought
I had her all figured out until I found out there was more underneath
her judgmental sneers and eye rolls. It feels like everything is coming
together for the future I really want—with Lena—until my past ruins
everything.
