About this ebook

He needs a fake girlfriend to secure his promotion. She needs his firetrucks for her parade. Falling in love was never part of the deal.

He’s a grumpy, single-dad firefighter who’s vying for a promotion to fire chief. I’m the woman who shows up at the fire house in a curve-hugging red dress and a box of baked goods. After one fake date, we both get what we want… or so we think.

We play our parts a little too well. So well, in fact, that his boss insists we keep up the charade. Kisses linger far longer than they should, and every touch leaves me wanting more.

Then there’s his little girl—sweet, bright, and determined to wedge her way straight into my heart. Suddenly, pretending isn’t just about fooling the town. It’s about protecting feelings that are starting to feel dangerously real.

Because the more we fake it, the harder it is to remember what’s pretend…and when desire ignites, the line between make-believe and forever goes up in flames.

A steamy small-town romance featuring forced proximity, fake dating sparks, and a fire chief hopeful who never planned to lose his heart in the blaze.


🔥 Expect:

• A fake girlfriend arrangement

• A promotion on the line

• Sparks that won’t stay contained

• Small-town meddling and firehouse banter

• Found family feels

• Heat, heart, and a hard-earned forever

Midnight Dreams is book 2 in The Sterling Brothers Series, but can be read as a standalone.

Eve and Maddox are an unlikely pair, at least that's how it would seem. Except the people who know them best seem to know something they rest of us don't. Or maybe it's the magic of a little town that celebrates Christmas all year round. No matter these two are together whether it's fake or not. Maddox needs to look personable and Eve needs firetrucks in her parade. These characters were really likeable even if at times I really wanted them to just communicate better.

I was excited to see that Eve and Maddox's book was coming out since reading about them in Wildest Dreams. These two are so very different, yet at the same time are good for one another. Maddox is the king of grumpiness, with good reason, a single father and a firefighter. Eve is the town's event coordinator who seems to be carrying the world on her shoulders. Their story is one of healing and unexpectedly finding love through a fake relationship.

What's hotter than a single dad? A single dad who is a firefighter! I loved the explosive chemistry between Maddox and Eve. It was supposed to be a fake relationship to change his image, but suddenly it felt very real. Could they both get what they wanted without someone's heart getting broke? I loved Eve, Maddox, and Sofia! I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.
