Messing with the Bartender by Breezie Bennett

When this single dad needs a wife to impress the Harvard of preschools…his first thought is to enlist the one person he knows can’t say no to him.

Alec: Ever since my world fell apart and I lost my beloved wife, my only priority is my three year old son. Before she died, I promised her I’d get our son into a super elite private preschool…I just didn’t know when I made that promise that I’d have to prove I’m married. I never planned to do that again, but if I have to, I will. The only option is trouble…bubbly, flirtatious Bianca Lopez who frequents my bar with her posse of friends. When I hit her with this crazy idea, she’s all in, thanks to her crush on me. Forget preschool. The one who’s learning that fake can be real is me…and I’m wondering if I can I open my heart to love again.

Bianca: It’s absolutely no secret that I’ve crushed on Alec The Hot Bartender for the better part of two years now. I’m not the type of person to be, well, subtle. But, despite all of my obvious advances, he seems to be pretty persistent in his avoidance of me. Until one night, when I find out he’s a widowed father to a sweet little boy, and he asks me to pretend to be his wife to get that boy into some bougie preschool. Kids are so not my thing…but Alec is. How can I say no? The only problem is this whole fake marriage is making me fall harder for him…and his adorable son. I know this man has already loved and lost, so I’m bound to get hurt. But for once in my life, I think I’ve found the family I never knew I needed…and I’m terrified I’m going to lose it.
