This soldier's the perfect hoax...if she doesn't fall for him first.

Cooper Shillings has a soft spot for people in trouble, but he certainly wasn't expecting to land in it himself--and definitely not while getting naughty mid-air with a sexy southern belle. When he hears Kayla's predicament; however, he offers his services as a stand-in boyfriend. After all, he's heading overseas soon...and how could he refuse a little no-strings wickedness?

*Excerpt*
The attendant set the drink down—along with a refill for Kayla, bless her heart—and cleared her throat. “Here you go. If you need anything else, just press the call button.”
“Could you bring us a blanket? Besides that, we should be fine,” Cooper said. After the attendant left, he shifted closer to Kayla until his leg pressed against hers. Then, with
his voice low and his gaze locked on her mouth, he said, “You looked cold.”
The shudder? Yeah. That hadn’t been from the cold. But let him think it was. “Yeah, a little.”
“I’ll do my best to distract you from the flight,” he promised, taking a sip of his drink. “You know that, right?”
She furrowed her brow. “Why do you want to? You don’t even know me. What’s in it for you?”
“Does there have to be something in it for me?”
“There usually is.” She met his eyes. They looked as kind and open as they had earlier. Was it all an act or what? “Most of the time, anyway. What’s your play?”
He shrugged. “I like you. I like talking to you. That’s about it.”
“And now you want to sit with me and make me happy?” She crossed her arms. “It sounds like you’re trying to fill the role of my make-believe boyfriend for the next couple of hours.”
“Yeah, maybe something like that.” He reached for the vodka cranberry and his woodsy scent teased her senses. “I find you intriguing and I enjoy your company. Isn’t that enough of a reason to try to help you? To talk to you?”
“I guess.” She watched him closely, taking in all his perfection with the eye of a cynic. Guys that looked like him usually weren’t the selfless type. That might be stereotyping a bit, sure, but it was true. “And yet, not really.”
His gaze fell to her lips. She could practically feel his mouth on hers already, kissing her until she forgot all about her fears. This was bad. Really bad. He might be here out of the kindness of his heart, but her body was far too drawn to him.
How long had it been since she wanted a man? Months? Years?
