Who hires a woman known as “Miraculous Mess” to run damage control on his jacked-up love life? Apparently, me. The guy from the wrong side of the tracks-turned-hockey star, now in need of drastic relationship help (insert dramatic background music).

Name’s Jake Falcone a.k.a. “The Dragon” when I’m out on the ice. Off the ice, they call me that, as well...for a different reason. Not saying I’m not flattered, but hell, what a thing for women to go around talking about.

Guess when your “dragon” has a big reputation, I was bound to end up with dating troubles. But my ex? She gives crazy a whole new meaning.

Enter Shane “Miraculous Mess” Willoughby, hired to play the role of my fake girlfriend and run professional intervention. Apparently, this sort of expertly strategic post-breakup dating arrangement gets results.

That said, the woman is not what I was expecting. Deserving of her moniker? Absolutely. She's a feisty, sexy, smart mouth dragon-whisperer beyond my wildest fantasies, for sure. But she’s also sweet and funny, with a wounded heart I’m determined to heal. If she’ll let me.

Sure, this started out as pretend, to solve a problem that’s still going on, I might add. Is a guy like me right for a classy Madison Avenue woman like her? Probably not. Am I going to let that stop me from getting the girl?

Hell no.

Note: Hot Mess for Hire is a super sexy rom-com with sizzling sparks from the start, leading to lots of wild, steamy fun. Laugh-out-loud textual healing. And a smile-worthy HEA with all the feels and all the swoon. Enjoy!
