My crush wants to hire me — but I won't take his money. My price? Be my fake boyfriend.

Chocolatier Jake Brennan is every girl's dream: tall, gorgeous, and ever so good with his hands. He's also my landlord/platonic work husband. As far as he's concerned, I'm firmly in the friend zone.

To woo an investor, Jake wants to hire me as a consultant. I won't take his money — but I do need his help distracting my aunt from her x-rated garden antics. When Aunt Florencia mistakes him for my boyfriend, we decide to play along.

There's no way we can go back to being just friends. Not when the chemistry between us has me desperate for more of him. Is there something real between us? Or will our relationship turn out to be a candy-coated sweet nothing?

Run To Me is the ninth book in the Hotel D series. These short, steamy romances feature mature couples who know what they want, in the bedroom and out! Each book in the series can be read as a standalone.
