<b>Bought in an auction by a shy baker? No problem.<br />Pretending to be her boyfriend for her sister&#39;s wedding? On it.</b><br />I can pretend all day long because I&#39;m Thatcher Manning, the guy who doesn&#39;t do relationships.<br />I&#39;ll give a woman a wild romp. Hell, I&#39;ll give her anything. Anything but my heart.<br />I decided a long time ago I&#39;d never get serious with a woman.<br />The fact that I&#39;m leaving town in a few months only cements that decision.<br />But then Astrid has to get under my skin. She hands over the reins in bed&mdash;and out&mdash;and now I&#39;m catching feelings.<br />The kind you can&#39;t fake.<br />Trouble is&mdash;I wasn&#39;t playing for keeps. Now, that&#39;s a problem. A big one.
