BLURB: 

There are three things you need to know about Kat Tanner (aka Kathleen Tyson. . . and yes, she is *that* Kathleen Tyson): 1) She’s determined to make good decisions, 2) She must get married ASAP, and 3) She knows how to knit.
Being a billionaire heiress isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it sucks. Determined to live a quiet life, Kat Tanner changed her identity years ago and eschewed her family’s legacy. But now, Kat’s silver spoon past has finally caught up with her, and so have her youthful mistakes. To avoid imminent disaster, she must marry immediately; it is essential that the person she chooses have no romantic feelings for her whatsoever and be completely trustworthy.
Fortunately, she knows exactly who to ask. Dan O’Malley checks all the boxes: single, romantically indifferent to her, completely trustworthy. Sure, she might have a wee little crush on Dan the Security Man, but with clear rules, expectations, and a legally binding contract, Kat is certain she can make it through this debacle with her sanity—and heart—all in one piece.
Except, what happens when Dan O’Malley isn’t as indifferent—or as trustworthy—as she thought?

Excerpt:

Staring at his chin, because I couldn’t quite lift my eyes any higher, I cleared my throat. “Should we get ready for bed?” “Sure,” he said, his voice a rumble. Dan’s eyes were on me, I felt the weight of them. My hands came to the hem of my skirt and I hesitated, feeling winded for some reason. Sneaking a glance at him, I immediately wished I hadn’t. His gaze was watchful, but it was also unmistakably hot in a way that seemed at once both avaricious and accusatory. The vice tightened around my lungs. Kiss him! Just freaking kiss him! You want numbered steps? Fine. You kiss him- check. He kisses you back- check. Then you make out- check. Check the boxes. I licked my lips, balling my hands into fists at my sides again, preparing to follow my hasty list. But then he said, “Undress me.” My breath caught. On instinct, my eyes lifted and collided with his in much the same way our bodies had collided at the top of the stairs just moments ago. Jarring. Startling. Thrilling. This time I couldn’t look away because this time I was falling. He made no move to catch me. “What? What did you say?” His eyes narrowed, which served only to increase the intensity of his gaze from smolder to inferno. “Take my clothes off.” I stared at him, licking my lips again, and shaking my head. That wasn’t one of my steps. Lifting my chin, I moved to kiss him. He leaned to the side, evading me even as his eyes dropped to my mouth. “Take off my shirt and I’ll give you a kiss.” He’d used his naughty-secret voice. An explosion of heat erupted in my belly, and now I was hot all over. I couldn’t figure out if the heat was embarrassment or arousal or both. He didn’t give me a chance to figure it out. His hands lifted and he undid his cuffs; then they moved to the top button of his shirt. “You better take over,” he said darkly, “or else you’re not getting that kiss.”

Review by: Leeann 

What I love about this book is the spontaneity of the writing. It is almost uncensored and I don’t mean that as in bad language or bad editing or anything like that. I mean it is like when you meet people that have no filter & the thought just pops into their head and out of their mouth and it is so random that it makes you laugh out loud.
Kat and Dan are just like that and I love it. They are not your typical perfectly put together, perfectly groomed, perfectly worded romance characters. They are raw, unfiltered and totally relatable. Their lives are complicated and messy and they own it. 
This couple are cute and quirky and so perfectly matched. Kat is the kind of character you want to wrap up in cotton wool and protect from the evils (not of the world) of her family. This poor woman was really born into a crap storm. Dan is a superhero in disguise. He is selfless and a perfect gentleman. Their self-made family is amazing and they have their backs no matter what. They are the kind of people you want in your corner at all times. When push comes to shove they step up in a monumental way. 
As with all good stories, there is the hero, the heroin & of course the villain. The villain in this one is a real bottom feeder. He didn’t have any redeeming qualities despite who he is to Dan & Kat.
This is a story about family and what it means to be a part of one whether it is by blood or a self-formed family. It is about a woman who has not felt the love of a family since she was 8 years old and a man who has always had the love and support of his,  showing her just what it is all about. He not only gives her himself but also his mother and the rest of his family, the good and the bad. It is about stepping up and owning your decisions and your life.
I absolutely loved the story, the characters and the writing. It is candid, refreshing and makes you want to keep reading until your eyes are so tired you need to hold them up with toothpicks!
This book is so so so worth getting your one click finger out and grabbing yourself a copy!
