BLURB:
I’m fake dating my ex’s brother…all on national television.
Gabby
I just needed a fake boyfriend to be on the reality show Desperate Househusbands with me to prove once and for all I was over my evil ex and living my best life.
Too bad the only guy willing to do the job turned out to be my ex’s half-brother.
Dimples are my kryptonite and he’s got two of them.
Rhett
I was intrigued by her before I knew who she was.
And I admit, I signed up for the fake boyfriend position because I was curious how someone so successful could have dated my asshole brother.
Maybe it’s the way her edges soften at night when she cuddles up to me.
Or maybe it’s watching her rebuild her confidence brick by brick.
Maybe it’s just the goats stirring up repressed sexual desire.
Either way, I have feelings. Real ones.
Which is a bummer when my brother, the wrecking ball, comes back through the door, ruining everything we fought so hard for.
Where’s a goat to rekindle the flames when you need one?

Love Bank - Chapter 5 preview
🔥 PreOrder: smarturl.it/LoveBank
Chapter 5 - Enemies to lovers.....so 🔥...
“That’s very judgmental of you.”
“Wha—?” Her hands flew to her hips. Definitely didn’t have a plastic surgeon. She was making all kinds of expressions now. My inner eight-year-old boy clapped his hands and whistled.
“How dare you? I had a man just this morning, barely clothed, wanting to make some cash to get out of town.”
I smiled. “Oh yeah, that must have been Johnny. He’s harmless. Just tried to steal the gold nugget on the Welcome to Auburn Hill sign.”
“He wasn’t wearing a shirt.” She nearly spat the words.
“So?” I pushed off the desk and stood tall, looking down at her. “Last I checked, that isn’t illegal.”
She cocked her head back to gaze up at me, narrowed her eyes, and then climbed up on the chair to tower over me in some twisted game of one-upping.
“That is not the sort of reputation I want at my clinic, Mr. Sutter.”
I bit my lip to keep from laughing. Jesus Christ, the lady was madder than a hornet’s nest and crazier than ol’ Johnny with the suspenders over his belly stealing a plastic nugget. She was literally standing on my chair and looking down her nose at me like I was the crazy one in the room.
