Hard Flip

Fading away is a bitch.

Mischa Dozniyov is a three-time X Games Skateboarding Champion.

Fifteen years ago that meant he was king of the tail slide, and had his choice of tail. Now his past makes it PR-suicide to put his name on his commercial real estate business. He's working his way toward reputable when someone crashes his website to extort Mischa into giving them a job.

He's ready to tear the arrogant jerk a new one, until he meets her.

Ash is sexy, reckless, and living paycheck-to-paycheck to support herself and her younger sister. Mischa tells Ash she can have the position if she proves she's got the skills. In the meantime, if she poses as his fiance, she gets stability and financial security, and he gets a ready-made family, complete with the aww factor, to make him look respectable.

It's the perfect proposal.

As long as no one finds out the engagement is fake. And Ash's past doesn't come back to haunt them. And she and Mischa remember those white-hot sparks that fly between them, every time they touch, are just for show...
