Damien by Mazzy King

Damien:
After ten years as a Marine, I retired early so I could enjoy my thirties without all the horror.
Deployments all around the world have left their scars, but I’ve made a life for myself as a construction worker. I still get to be active and use my hands. I just don’t have to watch people I care about die.
Then, a little spitfire named Nancy hurtles into my life, and even though she’s so much younger than me and my opposite, I can’t get her off my mind.
I’m pretty sure she hates me until she approaches me one day to be her fake date to her sister’s wedding.
I should say no, because this isn’t going to go anywhere.
But I can’t resist the thought of spending an evening with her…

Nancy:
It’s been a hell of a year.
In that time, I escaped my abusive ex-boyfriend and found a great job I love. I’m trying to work my way back to normalcy, to something approaching a healthy life.
Now, I just have to prove that to my family.
My sister Harlowe’s getting married to the love of her life, and her wedding is the perfect time to show them all I’ve got my act together with my super sexy, super doting boyfriend.
Except I don’t have one.
The guy leading the construction crew where I work fits the bill physically, even though he’s eight years older than me and we get along about as well as oil and vinegar. But I’m desperate, and he’s willing.
It’s just one night, and then we can go our separate ways…
