Everything was going well in former Navy SEAL Jake Brent’s life until his teenage daughter signed him up for a dating contest—without him knowing—and he was chosen for the coveted bachelor role.Everything was running smoothly in Holley Fields’s life until she, the woman who despises love, started to fall into its trap.I (33F) work at a local paper, and two months ago, my editor assigned me a huge project—run the upcoming, highly anticipated Bachelor Anonymous contest.In essence, I’m supposed to help a reader-nominated bachelor find his special someone.Men from all over Southern California, vying for the coveted bachelor role, submitted their personal ads to my paper. The readers voted, and Single Dad Seeks Juliet (40M) won by a landslide.But as it turns out, this guy is the ultimate man in a six-foot-three, chiseled-muscle, freaking Adonis package with aquamarine eyes that would haunt the dreams of an insomniac.He’s a former Navy SEAL, successful business owner, motocross-riding, charming, supportive, funny-as-heck single dad, and the more time I spend with him, the more I want to bring this contest thing crumbling to the ground so I can have him for myself.Am I scum? Or is all fair in love and war?
