Smile. Be charming.Be the stand-in he was born to be.But when Presley turns out to be more than she pretends-and a one-night stand gives her more access to his past than he intended-Carter's simple, easygoing lifestyle starts to unravel, exposing the biggest lie of all. One so big Carter never even saw it coming.Will Presley accidentally expose the Stand-In for who he really is? Or will her discovery free Carter from the street hustle he's perfected and finally help him claim a life, and love, that was always meant to be? A Cocky Hero Club stand-alone novel
