An Armored Heart — R.C. Boldt

RULE #1: Do not catch feelings for the man who doesn't believe in love. Four months. That's how long I have to pretend to be Steele Cunningham's doting girlfriend.I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He's doing it because he needs someone outside his social circle to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex.Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele's ego rivals his net worth.Operating on joy and positivity--and a healthy bit of feistiness--I challenge him at every step.He's a tin man--heartless and cold. Falling for him would be a colossal mistake, because there's no chance he'll ever love me.He can't.After all, he's the man with an armored heart.
