So I say yes. It’s just one weekend of pretending to be madly in love with a man who looks at me like I’m a wrinkle in his pristine world.
I didn’t expect his hands to be so warm. I didn’t expect his eyes to soften when I laugh. And I definitely didn’t expect to find myself pressed against the wall of our cabin, his mouth hungry on mine, wondering if this is still just pretend.
One fake relationship rule after another shatters between us. His carefully constructed walls come crashing down, and suddenly I’m seeing the man behind the power suit.
But when the weekend ends and reality crashes in, we’re left with the wreckage of lies we’ve built and feelings neither of us planned for.
Now I’m wondering if fifty grand was worth the price of my heart.
Because faking it with Elliot Carrington was easy. It’s the real part that scares me to death.
A sizzling, opposites-attract romance featuring a uptight alpha hero who’s about to be undone, the sassy woman who breaks through his walls, and a fake relationship that gets all too real. No cliffhangers. Just scorching chemistry and a happily ever after that will leave you begging for more.
