Sly Man Gray

She thinks she’s already had her one shot at real love. Can he prove her wrong?

Hunter Haley is gun-shy to invite a new relationship into his life after his recent attempt to rekindle an old flame ended badly and his daughters have displayed strong reactions to his ex-wife bringing a new man into the picture. After seeing what adding someone new into their lives means, Hunter fears what adding someone else to the mix will do.

Kelli-Anne, known affectionately as Annie to those who know her best, is preparing to spend Thanksgiving in Tennessee for the first time in years. Her best friend is marrying her brother, which is about the only thing that could possibly make her willing to set foot near her toxic family and her devastating past again. Those are old wounds better left unopened.

To avoid another unwanted attempted setup from her wicked stepmother and serve as a buffer between her and her nasty stepsisters, Annie needs to bring a date for the holiday/wedding festivities, and hearing that her boss, Hunter, will be alone the week of Thanksgiving, she invites him along. Hunter, a sucker for a damsel in distress but also not keen to spend Thanksgiving alone while another man takes his seat at the Thanksgiving table, agrees to go, and they embark on a fake-relationship journey that will leave them both forever changed.
