Against the Boards — Melinda Di Lorenzo

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.
