Knocking Boots

Knocking Boots

<h3>It started as a bet; now I don’t want to stop. </h3><br /><br />I was engaged once, and I learned my lesson. That’ll never happen again. Women come and go, but my bar is all I give a damn about. F*ck commitment. All I need is one night. It’s just for fun, and then it’s over. <br /><br />Until <i>she</i> walked into my bar. <i>My sweetheart.</i><br /><br />Gorgeous from head to toe, she’s a woman who knows exactly what she wants. The whole nine yards, complete with a picket fence… not a southern bartender with commitment issues. <br /><br /><i>Maybe it was the challenge that drew me to her… maybe it was something else. </i><br /><br />It was harmless flirting at first. Then it turned into a drunken deal. <br />She’s supposed to play my girlfriend until my sister’s wedding, just to get my family off my back. <br /><br />Every day we get closer to the wedding, it’s harder and harder to deny what I’m feeling. <br />But she never wanted me to begin with. It was just a stupid bet. <br /><br />She never told me what she wanted in return. I know what she’s desperate for though, <i> a baby. </i> A family to call her own.<br /><br />I’m not ready to settle down, but damn I want to hold on to her for just a little longer. <br />But I can’t let <i>just a little longer</i> turn into forever.<br /><br />**Knocking Boots is a full-length standalone romance with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.<br />
