I thought I had it all figured out. The "perfect" man. The "perfect" wedding. The "perfect" life of quiet submission.

Then Ethan Sinclair - six feet two inches of pure temptation - stormed through those church doors. My childhood protector, now a ruthless billionaire CEO, had a deal. It would save us both: be his fake fiancée, stabilize his empire, and win my freedom from a loveless marriage. The catch? Living under his roof.

Attending glittering galas on his arm. Pretending his scorching touches and heated glances don't set my soul on fire. But a shocking revelation names me the lost Carter heiress. I'm thrust into a world of corporate takeovers and family secrets.

Now, the spotlight's glare threatens to expose more than my identity. They say the best lies hold a grain of truth. But as the line between pretense and passion blurs, I'm finding that playing pretend with Ethan Sinclair might cost me everything... including my heart. Because the man who swore to protect me might just be the one to destroy me. And the worst part? I might let him.
