Bad Manners by Jamie Knight

Why am I for real falling for my cocky, secretive fake fiancé?
Ann: I’m hardly excited to attend yet another wedding, but I have to.
I just know my ultra-conservative family will make comments.
They don’t exactly like the fact that I’m a single mom.
My assistant has an answer for every problem, though.
And this solution comes in a chiseled, muscular, six-foot two package.
Russ is the newest and most ambitious lawyer in our firm.
But he’s also a rebel with a passionate Italian bad boy edge.
His swagger shows he’s not afraid to take on a challenge.
So he agrees to be both my wedding date and my fake fiancé.
A fun game of pretending becomes real when I start to catch feelings.
I can’t let myself fall for him, though. I’ve never had luck in love.
Then my bad-mannered fake fiancé is glued to his phone at the wedding.
I start to think this is my way out, but it’s obvious Russ is into me.
He wants to get with me so bad.
Why’s he pushing me away emotionally yet pulling me into him physically?
Is my fake fiancé hiding real truths showing we’re more alike than I thought?
Russ: I like to keep my life private.
But Ann makes me want to open more than just her heart for me.
Maybe I could also open my heart for her.
When Ann Howell asks me for a favor, I can’t just say no.
Not only is she brilliant and beautiful, but I also find her irresistible.
It’s not exactly convenient to pretend to be her fiancé at a wedding.
I hate those, and everything else about commitment and relationships.
But I’m new to the firm and I have to get on her good side.
And let’s face it: this gorgeous, curvy woman doesn’t have a bad side.
The closer I get to Ann, the more I realize she’s just my type.
Strong and feisty.
But how close is too close?
Would she judge me if she knew the details of my life?
Especially the one thing I hold most dear.
Despite my bad boy act, the truth is that I need Ann more than she needs me.
This was supposed to all be just fake and temporary.
But can we work it out and find our happy ever after for real?
