arranged to be mine
I can win over a jury before lunch.
Apparently, one icy blonde is going to be harder.
She’s brilliant, beautiful, and about to take over a billion-dollar jewelry empire.
She also has a reputation problem.
The woman selling engagement rings has somehow convinced the world she doesn’t believe in love.
Her father hires me to fix it.
I’m an entertainment lawyer, not a miracle worker, but getting beneath the Ice Queen’s perfectly controlled exterior sounds like the kind of challenge I can enjoy.
Then one kiss for the cameras changes everything.
Suddenly, I’m her fake boyfriend.
And the more time I spend with her, the less interested I am in pretending.
I want the woman who glares when I tease her.
The one who plans everything, carries her own bags, and would rather wrestle control from my hands than admit she needs anyone.
I want to make her laugh.
Make her let go.
Make her understand that letting me take care of her doesn’t make her weak.
The problem is, she’s spent her entire life proving she can do everything alone.
And I’m starting to want something she never agreed to give me.
Something real.
If I push too hard, I could lose her.
If I walk away, I lose the first woman who’s ever made me want more than the next case, the next win, or the next easy night.
I’ve built a career convincing people to see things my way.
Now I just have to convince the most stubborn woman I’ve ever met that this arrangement stopped being fake a long time ago.
Fake it with me
I hired a fake girlfriend because real relationships are messy. Falling for her wasn’t part of the contract.
I build yachts for billionaires, run my company my way, and protect my little girl with everything I have.
Then my ex comes back wanting custody.
Suddenly, I need to prove that the home I’ve built for my daughter is as stable as I know it is.
My lawyer wants warm. Loving. A family man.
Faux Dating Agency gives me exactly that.
One month. One live-in girlfriend. A few public appearances and one very convincing happy family.
Simple.
Except the woman who walks into my life is anything but.
She’s a brilliant, curvy marine biologist with a mouth that challenges me, a heart my daughter adores, and a body that makes keeping this arrangement professional nearly impossible.
I tell myself I can handle the temptation.
Then she starts fitting into our lives.
Breakfast at my table. Her laughter filling my house. My daughter reaching for her hand. Me lying awake wondering what it would feel like to stop pretending.
One kiss destroys the first rule.
One night together takes care of the rest.
Now the woman I paid to play my girlfriend is becoming the one thing I never planned on wanting again.
Mine.
But I’ve already watched one woman walk away from my daughter.
I won’t risk putting her through that twice.
Even if protecting my little girl means letting go of the woman who finally made our house feel like a home.
