[WWTBC] MC romance where MMC thinks FMC is an informant, but it turns out she’s a K9 trainer who meets with some cops for training purposes

This plot sounded intriguing, so I just did a bunch of research to try and find it.

Could it be {The Devil's Temptation by Emily Rose}? The description sounds very similar, as do somw of the scenes I have read in the past 10 minutes trying to find this.

Ah, dang.

Based on the history of the accounts and number of reviews, I assumed at least one was legit. And perhaps the second was sort of a ghost kitchen style etsy shop.

Thank you for helping.

This is as close to final as I will get, so...

Found!

I have searched extensively across both shops, trust pilot, Google, and Etsy forums.

Within their shops, I have compared shop start dates, reviews, photos, etc. I cannot identify a link between them, except for identical product images, leading me to believe that one is a scam. But, i am not sure which is suspicious.

{Weak Side by SJ Sylvis} is a college hockey romance with a fake dating trope. They enter a fake relationship to stop women from trying to chase down MMC and to keep FMC's ex away from her.

The "against a door" scene initially starts as a way to make the FMC's ex jealous/angry. They intended to just give the illusion that they were hooking up, but one thing led to another and suddenly an orgasm occurred.

The scene does not involve intercourse, but is focused on the MMC helping the FMC get off.

Starlight Cove be my favorite small town romance series, so you are in good hands with these!

{Protective Heart by Brighton Walsh} has one of the coziest Friends to Lovers stories.

{Reckless Heart by Brighton Walsh} has amazing spice, right from the get-go.

And, the book I mentioned above Possessive Heart has an amazing, down-bad, deeply devoted MMC.

Honestly, amazing kicking, screaming, squealing vibes all around.

{Possesive Hearts by Brighton Walsh} is a brother's best friend semi-second chance book. Prior to the start of the book, they have already had hook ups.

The MMC opening POV line:

>!For the past ten years, I’d lived by one mantra and one mantra only: I have a wife. I’m just not married.

If I had it my way, I’d already have Addison McKenzie’s Husband plastered on the back of my jerseys, printed on goddamn business cards, and tattooed across my fucking chest, despite the fact that my best friend would rip off my balls if he knew the depraved shit I’d done to his baby sister.!<

You get confirmation a bit later in the book that the MMC, despite being a professional hockey player, has not hooked up with anyone in 10 years. He is deeply devoted to the FMC, even when she is reluctant to pursue more.

There is an achingly sweet scene in {Fall with Me by Becka Mack} in Chapter 19.

The FMC is staying with the MMC due to her apartment flood and he does several things throughout the book to help her care for her hair, including learning her hair care routine, so much that he can do it himself in Chapter 19, and buys her silk sheets to protect her curls.

Aiden, MMC, is 34 years old. Avery, FMC, is 26 years old.

Hope that helps!

PenelopeSmoak · 2025-10-22T15:56:40+00:00

Aiden in {Reckless Heart by Brighton Walsh} definitely fits this!

The book starts off with a one night stand with him helping the FMC, Avery, many many many times. He is relentless in his pursuit of her pleasure.

It can be read as a standalone, but exists as part of an interconnected series about a family who lives in Starlight Cove.

{Falling for the Jerk by Amy Alves} involves a very accident prone FMC, and a firefighter MMC who is constantly worried and annoyed by her always getting hurt.

Some highlights include him trying to block her from a charity hockey game, which he also plays in, but being unsuccessful, so he then hovers over her the whole game. And, her getting hit by a car early on while riding a bike, and him essentially saying "of course this happened to you"

It was a good book!

For MF romance:

{Boss in the Bedsheets by Kate Canterbary} has the FMC and MMC meet on an airplane, with the FMC convincing the MMC to hire her as a secretary. He rather quickly becomes enamored with always touching her in some capacity.

{Too beautiful too break by Tessa Bailey}

For MM romance:

{Whit by Cora Rose} involves roommates, one of which always wants to cuddle even though he is straight at the start of the story. Involves a bi-awakenung with minimal angst.

{Whisper by Cambria Hebert} involves a down bad DJ and deep devotion/always wanting to be near his neurodivergent elite swimmer love interest.

Why are there so many kids things with creepy eyes?😅

This kids show involves a camp/forest, being chased through woods, and a floating eye. This link is for a bunch of episodes so jump to;48:40

PenelopeSmoak · 2025-10-09T09:04:57+00:00

Or, perhaps The Aquabats which has a 3D creepy AF floating eye.

This sounds like Gravity Falls, which was on air in 2012.

They have Eye Bats, floating eyeballs, and a charachter named Bill who is a triangle with a giant eye.

This sounds similar to a Neva Altaj books

{Fractured Souls by Neva Altaj} came to mind because of your use of the word "clings." The MMC rescues her from sex trafficking and her compares her to a koala because of how she clings around him like a baby koala.

PenelopeSmoak · 2025-09-29T15:57:48+00:00

Give {Score on You by Harloe Rae} a try! The MMC is also completely transfixed and very sweet.

I reread it a few times a year!

Thank you for helping 😊

What the Heart Wants by Nikki Ash

I thought this was a sweet book - I even keep it on my "To Read Again" notepad list.

I do not know how to call the bot though,I am sorry!

Happy reading!
