Protected by Dad’s Best Friend

Fake dating Dad’s older best friend to make an ex-boyfriend jealous ventures into dangerous territory when real feelings come into play.

Despite dumping my ex over a year ago, he won’t leave me alone. At first, he’s harmless in his attempts to win me back. Until he starts to get creepy, and now I’m spooked.

Enter Abraham “Delta” Malkovitch—my dad’s best friend, former military, and full-time security agent. He knows how to handle situations like this.

But I want a more subtle solution than a hulking, tattooed bodyguard shadowing me around everywhere I go. So I have a different suggestion: make my ex jealous with another man.

It was supposed to be simple. But fake dating Abraham gets complicated when the line between fact and fiction blurs and I can’t tell what’s real and what’s just part of the game.

Izzy is the type of girl to wear her heart on her sleeve. She deserves better than this dumbass ex-boyfriend who won’t take no for an answer.

When she asked me for help, I knew it was risky. I thought I could keep it professional. But the more time we spend around each other, the more it becomes obvious that Izzy is getting a crush on me.

I should pull away. I should put a stop to it. She’s too young for me at nearly half my age.

But I can’t bring myself to do it. I want this sweet little thing to be mine. 

Even if her dad will kill me for it.
