Fake.
Being the heir to Jacobs Enterprises, I’ve
been around fake people my entire life. I promised myself a long time ago that
I wouldn’t change for anyone. Which is the only reason I’m a professional
hockey player who lives on the beach and does as he pleases without answering
to anyone—except my father.
And now, my daughter.
Being a single dad wasn’t in the plan but
after a one-night stand who took off after the baby was born, this is my
reality.
My dad’s been harping on me to quit hockey
and join the company for years and now that I’m a father, he’s only intensified
his efforts. Until he makes me a deal I can’t refuse.
Insert Lena Boyd, the Jacobs’ family PR
rep. She’s beautiful and intelligent and not at all the woman for me—ask
anyone.
My dad needs us to act happily engaged and
sell the idea that we’re in love. If we’re successful I won’t have to join the
family legacy—ever. Of course, I agree.
That’s when things get complicated. I
thought I had her all figured out until I found out there was more underneath
her judgmental sneers and eye rolls. It feels like everything is coming
together for the future I really want—with Lena—until my past ruins everything.
