Hold Me Until Midnight by Christina Phillips is the 1st novel in her Grayson Brothers series of steamy f/m contemporary romance centred around seemingly forbidden attractions by the eponymous brothers, this one involving the brother who works as an undercover bodyguard falling for a socialite client for whom he pretends to be a fake boyfriend at a family wedding, with each wanting the almost-strangers-with-benefits arrangement to turn into something more, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Macmillan's Entangled line's Brazen imprint.
This is like the second fake dating at a wedding story we've gotten from Entangled in as many weeks. I'm now kind of morbidly curious as to whether there's some sort of subgenre trend and these are the new "secret baby" or "BDSM billionaire" bandwagon-jumpers.

Description
The first book in the sexy new Grayson Brothers series by Christina Phillips!
Every good girl loves a very bad boy...
Scarlett Ashford needs a date for her father's wedding. Only she doesn't just need a guy in a suit-she needs a bodyguard. The only problem is that Jackson Grayson is big and gorgeous and way too sexy. So much so that Scarlett's tempted to let this hot bad boy ruin her oh-so-good reputation...
Jackson doesn't do relationships and he certainly doesn't sleep with clients. Yet he can't fight their inconvenient attraction, or how badly he wants Scarlett's warm and wicked curves against his body. He wants her. Now. Even if it's just for one night, and even if walking away the next morning isn't as easy as he thought.
Besides, one hot and incredibly intense night between a bad boy and a pampered princess could never turn into something real...could it?
