Love Drunk by Kali Hart

Avery:
After ending a toxic relationship, I’m ready for a fresh start.
When an opportunity to be a kindergarten teacher in Caribou Creek arises, I don’t think twice.
I pack my bags and go.
After that turbulent relationship, I’m determined to stay single and focus on myself.
But my resolve is tested when I meet my incredibly attractive landlord, Wes Ashburn.
For months, I keep my distance from the sexy brew master.
But when a leak springs under my kitchen sink that I can’t fix, I’m forced to call him.
Just my luck that my ex chooses that moment to find me.
Wes doesn’t miss a beat.
He comes to my rescue and pretends to be my boyfriend.
It’s not supposed to mean anything.
I’m not supposed to like it so much.
So why I am falling so hard for my pretend boyfriend?

Wes:
I’ve been drawn to my beautiful, curvy tenant since the day I handed her the keys.
But dating has been off the table ever since I moved back to Caribou Creek.
I have more than enough reason not to trust women.
Or my own judgment when it comes to dating.
My life is quiet, simple, and uncomplicated.
I like it that way.
But when Avery’s ex shows up and tries to cause trouble, I’m not about to leave her high and dry.
I pretend to be her boyfriend.
I offer her a place to stay to keep her safe.
It’s supposed to be temporary.
I’m not supposed to fall for her.
But the more fate keeps pushing us together, the more I realize I don’t want to pretend anything.
