Flame

RSVP to my Marriage of ConvenienceI swore I would only get married if my life depended on it. Oh, the irony.Many things have happened over the past few weeks that I didn't see coming. My family imploded. Our business was turned upside down. And someone threatened to harm me if I didn't make good on my father's promises.But the biggest thing I didn't see coming?Foxx Carmichael demanding marriage.He's doing it out of loyalty to my brother. I know that. But I can't help but think if, through that deliciously hot, grumpy exterior, my bodyguard doesn't have ulterior motives.There's no denying the fire in his touch or the heat in his blue eyes. He protects me with a ferocity that leaves me breathless. He makes me rethink many things I thought I knew for sure-like my position on marriage.But how we dance around our fake relationship makes me wonder what part of this is pretend. None of it matters if he doesn't admit he feels the same way.Our sham wedding will fall apart as soon as the threat is contained. But what happens if the flames between us burn everything to the ground first?
