A one-night stand with a billionaire? Bad idea.
A tabloid photo calling him the Playboy CEO? Worse.
A positive pregnancy test? Catastrophic.
Gideon Vale and I have history.
The unfinished kind.
Twelve years of almosts. Seven years of silence. One near-kiss neither of us ever forgot.
So when one reckless night together puts my face in the tabloids beside his, I should run.
Instead, I sign.
Six months as Gideon Vale’s fake fiancée.
The arrangement protects his reputation, shields my design firm from the fallout, and gives the press the love story they’re desperate to believe.
Everyone wins.
Except Gideon keeps touching me like the cameras aren’t there.
I keep kissing him like I’ve forgotten the rules.
And somewhere between the staged appearances and the nights that were never supposed to happen, our fake engagement starts feeling dangerously real.
Then I learn the truth.
The engagement was never just damage control.
I was a test.
Proof Gideon could use my trust to prove he deserved more power.
I should expose him.
I should walk away.
I should never let myself believe that anything between us was real.
But Gideon was never supposed to fall in love with me.
And I was never supposed to be carrying his baby.
A steamy, fake-engagement billionaire romance featuring old friends, one reckless night, forced proximity, a devastating secret, and an unexpected pregnancy.
