Just For Show
Aster Bay: Book Two
He doesn’t want a fairy tale. He just wants his son’s ex-girlfriend.
This will be the year Kyla Mitchell puts herself first, walking away from the boyfriend she doesn’t love and pursuing her passion for boudoir photography. She didn’t plan on being turned down for the loan she needs to start her business. When a new reality dating show comes to town and announces that the winner will receive $100,000, it seems like the answer to all her problems. Now all she has to do is outlast the competition and she can finally have her very own fairy tale ending, complete with Prince Charming.
Gavin West is a good father, and good fathers don’t fantasize about their son’s girlfriend. Even after they break up, Gavin knows falling for Kyla would betray his son’s trust, so why is she the only woman Gavin’s wanted in years? Determined to shake off his attraction to Kyla, Gavin agrees to star in the new reality dating show filming in his hometown. When the very woman he’s running from ends up competing for his heart, he wonders if maybe she was meant to be his all along.
When the cameras are gone, Gavin and Kyla have to decide what was real, what was just for show, and what’s worth fighting for.
Just for Show is a standalone, steamy, small town, ex-boyfriend’s father romance featuring a reality TV show, forced proximity, a curvy heroine, and a guaranteed HEA.
What Readers Are Saying
“It all he emotional connection between Gavin and Kyla is intense, spicy, and deeply felt. I love how they appreciate each other, how they share their feelings, and the sensitivity they show for each other. Cara Dion knows how to write a beautiful love story that has it all: a dirty talking guy and an exquisitely gorgeous woman!”

“Cara absolutely NAILED the reality TV show setting. It was such a fun/different plot point and really played into the forbiddeness and drama of the ex's dad trope. And I LOVED that Kyla was a Boudoir Photographer. It was portrayed in a really meaningful way and her talent and passion oozed from the pages. I also really enjoyed Kyla & Gavin's connection. The progression of their feelings was absolutely believable…these 2 were hottttttttt.”
— Nicole on Goodreads
“This is the second book in the Aster Bay Series and it was even better than the first, IMO! “The Year of Kyla” was SO much fun to read. The way this curvy FMC came into herself made me feel all the things!…Watching Gavin and Kyla’s love story unfold made me laugh, smile, and cry a few happy tears.
