Afraid of Love by Annelise Reynolds

Jaci – I’ve made a career out of writing books filled with romance and suspense. My characters are the closest to love that I allow myself to get. It’s not that I’m against dating; it’s just that my previous experience has left me traumatized. I’ve never let my personal life affect my writing, but now that I’m blocked, it seems like the only way to unlock my story is to dabble in love myself. That’s why my twin sister secretly bid on date for me at a bachelor auction.

Sebastian – I didn’t sign up to be a part Nadine’s auction by choice. I was blackmailed by my bratty cousin who knows way too many of my secrets. Jaci is everything I never expected, and always knew I needed, but her past relationships have closed her off and keep her from letting me into her heart. All I want to do is protect and love her, but that’s not easy when the woman you fall in love with doesn’t believe in her own happily ever after.
