The Real Thing
Jacey Daniels is grateful for Malone Peters' friendship, especially when he agrees to play the part of her lover when a former crush comes back to town. The plan is to get caught kissing. Neither one ever expected pretense to ignite so very real a desire. Their first kiss touches a yearning in Jacey that's too strong to ignore.

Smitten by Jacey, Malone longs to turn their charade into reality. But he thinks she's carrying a torch for her old flame. Jacey thinks he's still faking it! She's in for a surprise, though, because Malone is determined to prove what they're feeling is the real thing.
