Description

As the youngest sibling in a family of five older brothers, Ivy Ames feels like she has something to prove, especially when it comes to Ames Security. While her brothers take on life-threatening assignments, they rarely let her near anything more dangerous than a pencil. So when her eldest brother approaches her with a proposal, Ivy is surprised. But after she learns the finer details of the assignment, she can't say no fast enough. She will definitely not pose as the girlfriend of a disgraced hockey star. Relationship trauma has left her with too much baggage. Even for a phony arrangement like this one. And especially not with a man as attractive as TJ "the Troublemaker" Jones. But when her brother ends up in the hospital, and a stalker is on the heels of the client, Ivy has little choice but to face her demons, even if it means risking her heart in the process.

About the author

Melinda Di Lorenzo has been writing professionally for more than a decade and is the author of Counting Scars and Racing Hearts in the Orca Soundings line. In 2013 she won Harlequin's annual So You Think You Can Write contest, which came with a publishing contract and launched her successfully into the romance world. With a BA in English from Simon Fraser University and a passion for classic love stories that feature strong (albeit sometimes problematic) female leads battling social constraints, such as Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights, Melinda infuses her books with flawed characters in real, relatable situations. Bullied as a teen, Melinda sought refuge in books. She now wants to bring that refuge to others, and she draws on her experience as the parent of three teens to craft stories that reflect modern struggles without turning those struggles into stereotypes. She also supports young writers and makes an annual creative writing scholarship donation to École Salish Secondary. Melinda lives in Surrey, British Columbia.
