Beautiful model London Dumont does not need another man in a suit telling her what to do.She just escaped one disastrous relationship—thanks, Mother—and now she’s focused on repotting her succulents, getting through her to-be-read pile, and celibacy. What she didn’t plan for?The tall, too-serious bodyguard who steps between her and trouble with the offer of a fake-boyfriend alibi. Taggart McKenna is the kind of man who uses words like “target” and “tactical evasion” at barbecues. He treats surveillance like a love language. Not the kind of man she would ever date—or fake-date. No. But somehow, he’s now holding her hand in front of her disapproving mother, making her tea without asking, and sleeping—fully clothed, maddeningly close—on the world’s smallest couch while she definitely does not wonder what he’d do if she invited him into her bed instead.Those big, capable, protective hands… No. Definitely not. It’s just a temporary arrangement. Strictly tactical. No one is catching feelings here.London’s all sparkle. Taggart’s all strategy. And everyone knows glitter and gunpowder don’t mix. Until they do. AFTER DARK is a slow-burn, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about a fake relationship, one overinvested mother, and the unexpectedly swoony bodyguard who turns “just until things settle down” into something dangerously close to forever. AFTER DARK is the sixth installment in bestselling author Susan Amanda Kelly's hit Accidental Attractions series.
