The Welder by Ramona Gray

Luna
Lying to my sister about dating the only man who ever rejected her probably wasn’t my smartest idea. But in my defense, that man is Asher Stokes – the biggest, quietest and hottest man in town. I’ve been in love with Asher for years, and since my domineering sister swears she’s never coming back to our town, my little lie about dating the man of my dreams is harmless.

Only, now my famous sister is coming home. I have three days to convince Asher, a man who’s never looked twice at me, to pretend to be my boyfriend for an entire weekend.

To my surprise, Asher agrees. But he wants something from me in return. He’ll be my fake boyfriend for the weekend if I’ll be his real bed warmer.

Asher
Luna Davis is off limits. Always has been and always will be. She’s the kind of woman who wants a relationship and I don’t do relationships. Ever. Not even for her – the sweet and innocent velvet-voiced redhead who just happens to be the star of every one of my filthy X-rated fantasies.

I’ve vowed to keep away from her, but that was before she asked me to help convince her family that we were dating. Tired of denying what I want most, I’ll play Luna’s game, but not without taking what I want from her.

What’s happening between us isn’t real. Only now that Luna is finally in my bed, the urge to make her permanently mine is too difficult to ignore.
