Because of You - Brockus, Erin

. .

Résumé :
Our fake romance was born from flames. But when real feelings spark, will my real wounds destroy us? EVAN: I've been managing Calypso Key Resort, our family beachside retreat in the Florida Keys, for so long I can do it in my sleep-which isn't what keeps me up at night. That honor goes to Liv Jacobson, the gorgeous, curvy bakery owner I'm too shy to approach. Past wounds cut deep and I'm a shadow of the man I once was. But when fate engulfs her bakery, I offer her a refuge. And an opportunity to get to know her better. When I spin a panicked tale of needing a fake relationship, Liv shocks me further by playing along. Every shared secret, every pretend kiss kindles a blaze that becomes dangerously real. But when my unresolved past explodes, I push everyone away, including Liv. How could a fake relationship have turned so real? Because now, it's no longer a game-it's our shot at forever. BECAUSE OF YOU is part of the Calypso Key series, where happy endings always come with a steamy tropical twist! Can pretend lovers become real, and can love triumph over the deepest scars? Dive in and find out in this interconnected standalone....
