Teacher Stella Marshall's summer break has just began, but the gossip is already sizzling: Luke Keegan's back in town! Stella's high school crush is all grown up and smolderingly sexy. She might even consider a fling with the former Navy SEAL, if she hadn't already sworn off all romantic entanglements. But there isn't a single thing she can do to stop the rumor mill whispering about her and Luke being together-unless . . . A showmance! Luke never thought he'd propose a fake relationship, but it's the only way to stop the runaway speculation about their love lives. Pretending to date a woman as stunning as Stella is easy. Not actually falling for her is the hard part. Luke isn't sure he deserves a hometown happy ending, when members of his SEAL team never made it back at all. But there's real attraction buzzing between him and Stella . . . and he knows she feels it too. Could their faux summer romance lead to true love?
