A romantic game of chicken—and
they’re both too stubborn to flinch.
Lucy Fairchild, lawyer and heiress to the Fairchild fortune,
has just had the worst day of her life. Her father has found
the perfect man for her to marry. Yes, she’s thirty and
single, but that doesn’t give her father the right to
run her life. She’ll choose her own husband—someday.
Jake Dalton is struggling to make his fledgling construction
company a success. Ever mindful of his father’s derogatory
comments that he’d never amount to anything, he’s
spent his entire life trying to prove he’s not a failure.
From their first meeting on a construction site, verbal sparks
fly. Their argument escalates into a dare for a date—and
the game is on. Lucy thinks Jake is the perfect fake boyfriend
to parade around in the hopes of getting her father off her
back. Jake is amused by the chance to annoy both Lucy and her
dad—he doesn’t intend to take the dating thing seriously.
But the heart is a fickle thing, and not above playing dirty.
In their quest to prove something—to each other, or maybe
to themselves—they find themselves building a case…for
love.
And suddenly all the rules have changed.
