Just One Bed!Identical Cousins When Rio Rosetti is approached by Casey Esparza in a grocery store parking lot, he realizes two things: the famous actress has mistaken Rio for his gay cousin Luc; and Rio's got to keep up the pretense to protect his teammate Dave from getting his heart re-broken by Casey's hot mess of a brother, Jon. As a Navy SEAL, Rio's days are filled with adventure and risk, but now, as Dave's fake boyfriend, he's facing a different challenge. His life is suddenly a rom-com movie with an added twist as Rio finds himself falling hard for Casey. Casey Esparza's acting career has been like a fairytale. Her iconic role in a cult science fiction TV show brought her fame, fortune, and millions of social media followers. Her personal life, however, is a different story-her brother Jon is a dumpster fire and her romantic life is grim. Her instant connection with her friend Dave's easy-going new boyfriend Luc is a breath of fresh air. Rio knows honesty means everything to Casey, and that for him to stay in her life-as Rio-he needs to end his masquerade very carefully. But when Jon's unsavory past catches up to them and Casey's in danger, Rio is ready to risk everything-even his future with her-to keep her safe. The tall, dark, and dangerous Navy SEALs of Team Ten are back-with Suzanne Brockmann's signature blend of love, laughter, and a hint of danger in Blame It on Rio.
