There was a look in his eye that told me he’d finally noticed I existed in a realm beyond best-friend’s-much-younger-off-limits-don’t-even-think-about-it-little-sister.
Call it womanly intuition, despite the fact I was barely qualified for being an actual woman at just fifteen—and only in the biological sense—but still, I knew I loved him.
What I never expected from him was a proposal of marriage nearly eight years later.
I know it's not supposed to be a real marriage, but James is certainly making it feel that way.
He's also hiding something from me.
But I've hidden the truth from him as well.
Lies.
So many filthy lies.

Raine Miller is a #2 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author since 2012. Before that, she spent two decades teaching kiddos to read–something she’s most proud of. These days, writing steamy romance stories pretty much fills up the hours for which she keeps pinching herself to make sure she’s not dreaming. #Truth. She has a handsome husband, two amazing grown up sons, and two very bouncy Italian Greyhounds who never let her out of their sight and task themselves with keeping her attention on them as much as canine-ly possible.
When she’s not writing she’s likely deep into a hockey game cheering on her beloved Vegas Golden Knights and dreaming up a new book. The greyhounds are likely to be in her lap or at her feet while she writes the books or watches hockey—both dogs, of course. You are welcome to hang out in her reader group on Facebook @Raine Miller Romance Readers anytime.
