Reynolds Recoveries, Book 5

A friends-to-lovers romantic suspense where an undercover gadget guru and his lifelong best friend — a brilliant hacker — fake a marriage to break into a classified data center and surface evidence that could free her wrongfully imprisoned father. They slept together once in college and nearly destroyed the friendship over it. Now they’re sharing a suite, touching in public, and pretending a decade of his quiet wanting hasn’t been there the whole time.

In order to crack a criminal conspiracy at a classified data center, my undercover persona needs a fake wife, fast. And the only hacker who can help me pull it off is my best friend—the woman I’ve been secretly in love with for ten years.

Posing as newlyweds gives us access to the underground facility where evidence of her father’s wrongful imprisonment is hidden. It also means sharing a suite. Touching her in public. Convincing everyone we’re madly in love.

The problem? I’m not acting.

After one steamy night in college nearly destroyed our friendship, I’ve spent a decade pretending I don’t want Brie Reynolds. But every kiss chips away at the boundaries we’ve built. And as our cover story starts to feel like the future I’ve always wanted, I wonder if maybe she’s not acting, either.

Before I can find out the truth, our mission goes sideways—sabotage, betrayal, and a security breach that exposes Brie’s real identity. Trapped with nowhere to hide, I’ll have to choose: complete the mission or save the woman I love.
