Hopeless (Chestnut Springs Book 5) Elsie Silver

In "Behind Closed Doors," Beau Eaton and the narrator find themselves tangled in a web of deception and desire. Beau, the town's revered military hero, offers the narrator, a shy bartender from a troubled background, a chance to escape their respective reputations by pretending to be engaged. What starts as a bet quickly evolves into something more as they navigate the complexities of their fake relationship.

Despite the engagement being a facade, their private moments together reveal genuine feelings blossoming between them. As they share intimate moments behind closed doors, the lines between pretense and reality blur, and the narrator finds herself falling for Beau against all odds.

Their agreement may have an end date, but the emotions they've stirred within each other don't adhere to such constraints. Despite Beau's initial declaration that he'd never fall in love, the narrator discovers herself deeply infatuated with her supposed fiancé.

"Behind Closed Doors" promises a tale of unexpected romance, where a fake engagement leads to real feelings that defy expectations and challenge the boundaries they've set for themselves.
