Ace's Bluff: A Tempest Knight's MC Age Gap, Fake Dating, Brother’s Best Friend Insta-Love Novelette

He’s the Chief of Police walking the line between justice and corruption. She’s the one woman he swore he’d never touch. But when a single night blurs the line between duty and desire, how long can they resist before crossing it for good? Ace It’s Christmas in Broken Bend, which means one thing—the annual Policemen’s Ball. Normally, I’d skip it without a second thought. Being both a cop and a secret member of the Tempest Knights MC means I prefer to keep a low profile. But after a department-wide corruption purge left me holding the badge as interim Chief, I can’t afford to fade into the background anymore. If I want to keep this job—and this town—safe, I need to play the part. The new mayor insists I show up to the ball, and not just solo. He’ a “family man” and all about image, which means I need a date. A girlfriend. Only problem? There’s just one woman I’ve ever wanted. Annie Wright. My best friend’s little sister. Off-limits, untouchable… and the only person who could make pretending feel real. But I’m sure Torque will understand if I borrow his sister for one night. Right? Annie I’ve loved Asa “Ace” Campbell for as long as I can remember. But he’s my older brother’s best friend—the one man I was never supposed to want. Didn’t stop me from dreaming, though… or saving my heart for him. And when I move back home after college, I finally get my chance. Ace needs a fake date for the Policemen’s Ball, and since I’m one of the few who know his secret—that the Chief of Police is also a hidden ally of the Tempest Knights—I say yes without hesitation. One night, pretending to be his girlfriend? I can handle that. Except nothing about the way he looks at me feels pretend. Then, when danger strikes and Ace has to rescue me from a rival MC, we both realize the truth—what’s between us isn’t an act, and one night will never be enough. Can I convince him that love isn’t a weakness… it’s worth every risk? The Tempest Knights MC is packed with morally gray heroes who’ll do whatever it takes to protect the women they love. If you crave fast-paced, insta-love romance with a touch of suspense and a HEA—jump on, hang tight, and enjoy the ride.
