Pretend it's Forever - Carrie Ann Ryan

Sophia Cage doesn't need a protector-she needs a night to pretend her world didn't splinter. After her world burned, she found herself a single mom, a struggling dance studio owner, and unable to do the one thing that had brought her out of the darkness.

Dance.

When Carson walks into her life, all she can see is the broken person she'd been when they'd first met. She's stronger than the ghosts of her past, at least that's what she tells herself. Yet with each accidental encounter with the mysterious and dangerous man who's inserted himself into the Cage family orbit, she's finding it harder to walk away.

Carson Woods doesn't trust people. He's spent his life protecting his sister from their family and the world all while making sure his businesses are the best in their fields.

Then he meets her.

One wrong move with the shattered yet pieced together Sophia could not only fracture his working relationship with the only friends he has but harm the woman he tells himself he cannot crave.

Pretend it's Forever is a single mom, who hurt you, opposites attract, contemporary suspense featuring Carson and Sophia in the Cage Family series. Each book can be read as a complete standalone. An HEA is guaranteed!
