Book 2 of the Sons of Scandal series

FBI agent Jude Camden approaches every assignment by the book, including a new operation that requires him to pose as the boyfriend of bold perfumer Gemma Clare. Gemma’s creativity and appetite for disruption make her the opposite of Jude’s carefully controlled personality, and she takes particular pleasure in testing his self-discipline. Their fake relationship is professionally useful but personally dangerous because FBI rules prohibit romance between people working the same operation. Becky Wade’s second Sons of Scandal novel combines romantic suspense, opposites-attract chemistry, and fake dating as Jude discovers that following every rule is much easier before Gemma becomes the exception.
