She thinks her biggest problem will be defending her storefront from the violence of the rival family, who would much rather see her chased back into the east end of the city with the rest of the brawling O’Keefes.

This is book one in The O'Keefe Family Collection Trilogy.

    Like a Boss War veteran Dawson Trudeau never expected his estranged identical twin to walk into his bar in Alaska, let alone offer him twenty million dollars to pose as the CEO of King Enterprises while he secretly heads to rehab for thirty days. With dreams of starting a homeless shelter for veterans and locating his retired service dog from Afghanistan, Dawson can’t say no. Then he meets his brother’s sexy assistant and he hopes she can’t say no—some overtime between the sheets. Lacey Brooks isn’t attracted to her metro-sexual boss, but his rough and ready identical twin is just her type. When lust turns into love, she fears she is betraying the CEO. If she can navigate the family feud to ensure a spot-on impersonation by Dawson, she’ll finally be promoted to VP. 
 If they can pull off the masquerade, everyone wins. But once the thirty days is over will victory matter if they don’t have each other?

About the intriguing tattoo that curled around his arm, how his muscular body gleamed when he worked in the warm sunshine, or how his ocean-blue eyes heated her from the inside out. She mustn’t think about the stolen kiss, the way he’d slipped his arm around her waist to pull her against him. The soft touch of his lips on hers.“It’ll be strictly business,” he repeated.Yeah, right.

    Some racy photos. And an accidental hook up—or three—with his best friend’s sister.   There are four things that rule my world: Norse mythology, Marvel comics, horses, and dirty talk. Not necessarily in that order.   When my brother signs me up for a new Bachelorette-style reality show centered around a female star looking for love with a cowboy (without my permission, I might add), I don’t have a choice.   It will be great publicity for the ranch.   Or at least that’s what I’m promised. Never mind that I’m not looking for love—and I’m especially not interested in landing a fiancée.   What I didn’t figure on is the show's photographer being Violet Brooks. Violet is my best friend's little sister. Did I mention he’s the town sheriff?   She’s the same woman who left our small Montana town ten years ago and never looked back. The same woman I lusted after when I shouldn’t have. And still do.   So when the pre-show marketing photo shoot involves channeling my inner underwear model—with Violet as the photographer—I lose my shirt. My pants. And possibly my virtue.   But it’s worth it.   As long as we don’t get caught—because if we are, it’s adios to the ranch.   And as long as my heart doesn’t get toss into the mix. Because what Violet and I have is only temporary while she’s in town.   Sounds easy enough. Right?
