Passion and Protection features Fake Engagement, Real Temptation (2017) by Joya Ryan, a contemporary romance built around the fake-dating trope.
The book follows two people who agree to a fake engagement for practical reasons, only to find that the pretend relationship stirs up real feelings. Ryan keeps the story grounded in the tension between what the characters agreed to and what they actually want, which is the core appeal of any fake-dating romance.
Ryan has written across several romance subgenres, including her Chasing Love series and her Dare to Love books. Passion and Protection stands alone, so readers do not need any background in her other titles. It is a fast read that delivers exactly what the premise promises.
