He's the grumpy mechanic who swore off love. She's the sunshine teacher who sees the good in everyone.
Rogue lost everything five years ago. Now he keeps the world at arm's length—until a stranded teacher with a broken-down car crashes into his carefully guarded life.
When his sister needs help keeping custody of her son, Rogue makes a desperate Maeve will pretend to be his girlfriend for one weekend. In exchange, he'll restore her vintage car. No feelings. No complications. Just an arrangement.
But fake dates lead to real touches. Staged kisses ignite genuine sparks. And somewhere between family dinners and motorcycle rides through Montana, the lines blur until neither can remember what's pretend anymore.
Rogue's learned that love only leads to loss. Maeve believes every risk is worth taking. When their arrangement ends, will he choose safety—or the woman who makes him want to live again?
One weekend. One lie. One last chance at forever.

The confusion
This is the 3rd book in the series and confusing . The first book Hawk was tail gunner with Sloan cybersecurity. Second book he was VP. In the second book with Viper and Payne she was an only child who lost her mother at the age of 21. In the 3rd book Payne’s got a brother named Rogue who this book is about. But in Rogues book her parents are trying to get guardianship of her and Vipers daughter Emma. Does this author not remember her characters.

I really wanted to liked it :(
The story was promising, grumpy biker and a perky 2nd grade teacher......mmm got into a fake relzt6to safe his niece from been taken away by the grandparents..ridiculous just because they belong to motorcycle club. Any way Rouge lost his first love due to a car accident (drunken diver) . This is we're j think the story went wrong for me, the story was rush I know is a short Novela but it dint make sense how fast they felt for each other. Even worse Mauve had an accident which was also a drunken driver but of course she didn't die. It couldn't been more original than this. Spice level 1. Didn't keep me inspired to finish reading. I felt the writer wax lazy or rush to write something sorry.

confused
When the book before with viper and Paige ends Emma is two. Rouge was struggling with a girl who didn’t want him back.
This book Emma is second grade and rouge has a dead fiancé. Paige and him are siblings?? Her parents are fighting for custody of Emma?? When the last book it was just her dad and he was supportive of the marriage with viper.
Can’t follow a series when so much changes and is confusing.
The characters are great but the story line needs work to truly be cohesive within a series.

confusing details for main characters
Details about Paige, Viper and Rogue don’t make sense. In Viper’s book Paige is an only child whose mother died several years previous. In this book she and Rogue are siblings with both parents alive. Paige’s maiden name changes from Sullivan to Kane. Also in this book Maeve’s brother’s name is Declan in first visit and Trevor in the epilogue. Additionally, Emma has aged from 2 in Viper’s book to 7 in this book.

a good read
I enjoyed the plot and the characters. It is a short story but it packs a lot into it. A biker suffered the loss of his wife. Five years later he happens upon a stranded motorist. He made the decision to stop and help her and so began his journey to open up his heart again to happiness. It’s a good read. HEA, no cheating, no cliffhanger, just a little tease about the next book. Enjoy

This was a fun read and was exactly what I needed. However, it slightly bugged me with the inconsistencies. In book 2, there was no mention of Paige having a brother and her mother had died, in book 3, Paige’s brother is suddenly Rogue and her mother is alive?
I think I will still continue this series as they are quick and easy reads, which I do enjoy.

Tessa. Knox, you did it again, thank you.
Another really good love story. Set in a bikers world. No over exaggerated love scenes, just a beautiful story, this time with love and loss to make me think. And help to make me think that even when my very ill husband eventually leaves me I will still have all the memories of our lives together. Thank you.

Sweet, cheesy insta romance, but kind of adorable. The dialogue was pretty good.
