    "description": "Beau Eaton is the town prince, a handsome military hero with a tortured past.\nI'm the outcast bartender, a shy girl from the wrong side of the tracks.\n\nHe's thirty-five and all man, I'm twenty-two and all . . . virgin. He's also my fianc\u00e9. Correction: my fake fianc\u00e9.\n\nWe start out as a bet. He doesn't believe that anyone holds my last name against me. So he offers me his to prove a point.\n\nIt's a win-win. He gets a break from his concerned family's prying, and I get a chance to shed my family's reputation while I save up to ditch this small town.\n\nHe says all I have to do is wear his ring, follow his lead, and pretend I can't keep my hands off of him in public.\n\nBut it's what happens between us in private that blurs all those carefully drawn lines . . .\n\nIt's what transpires behind closed doors that doesn't feel like pretending at all . . .\n\nThis engagement was supposed to be for show. This agreement? It has an end date.\n\nHe once told me he'd never fall in love.\n\nAnd yet here I am, head over heels for my fake fianc\u00e9.",
