The Hired Heartthrob
by Ash Keller

Summary
She hired him to fix her sink. Now he’s pretending to be her boyfriend.
Liv
The sink is leaking, my rival’s Valentine’s Day wedding is looming (seriously… only a supervillain has a wedding on Valentine’s Day, am I right?!), and my cat is giving me the cold shoulder because we’re out of her favorite gourmet treats. My life needs an emergency repair. Enter Noah—the hunky handyman who just happens to be in my kitchen when panic strikes. He’s practical, down-to-earth, and the perfect fake date for this ridiculous wedding. Which means it should be simple. Easy. No problem at all. So why does it already feel complicated?
Noah
I’ve fixed a lot of things, but pretending to be someone’s boyfriend? That’s new. Liv is smart, gorgeous, and completely out of my league—but the more time I spend with her, the less this feels like an act. She thinks I’m just helping her get through one awkward night. But I can’t help wondering if I might be exactly what she’s been looking for all along.
