I never believed in fairy tales because happily ever afters aren’t for girls like me.
I know my role—play pretend, smile pretty, and leave before dawn. No attachments. No illusions.
Then billionaire playboy Darren Walker makes me an offer I can’t refuse.
One year. A fake marriage. Five million dollars.
I should say no. He’s arrogant, entitled, and too damn handsome for his own good. But I need the money, and he needs a wife to unlock his inheritance. Simple.
Except nothing about Darren is simple.
His touch ignites something I swore I’d never feel. His kisses make me forget this is just business – especially when I catch glimpses of something deeper beneath his privileged exterior. And when he looks at me like he sees the real me—the one even I’m not sure exists—I start to believe it too.
But I know better than to fall for a client.
Because if he discovers the real reason I said yes, I won’t just lose the deal—I’ll lose him.
