Page 18 of Single Dad Panther's Best Friend Romance

Madeline Charles is in trouble. She’s about to lose a small fortune all because of an idiotic clause in the will that says she’s supposed to be married. She doesn’t really care about the money for herself but she’s been supporting a number of charities. She thinks some of them might not survive.

And it’s all coming to a head. She’s going to have to be engaged right away or the money will disappear.

As if that isn’t bad enough, she has to deal with Lucas Adams, the most frustrating and irritating man on Earth. It’s like the man thinks that just because he’s tall, muscular, and sexy; he can get away with treating her like a child. Sure, the fire code is important but the work she’s trying to do is important as well, and it seems like Lucas is making it his goal in life to keep her dream of Hope Ranch, Madeline’s sanctuary for single parents and their kids, from ever coming to life.

And then one day while she’s arguing with him over the kind of insulation she’s supposed to have in the dormitories, the lawyers show up.

The estate lawyers.

And suddenly, there’s a problem bigger than Lucas.

All she can do is pray. Well, all she can do is kiss Lucas passionately and pray as hard as she can that the man plays along when she introduces him as her fiancé! Will he do it? She hasn’t been nice to him. Will he do this favor, and if he does, where will it lead?
