About this book

A notorious playboy agrees to fake an engagement with his best friend and business partner for one week—just long enough to help his dad secure a major deal with conservative investors. But when the line between pretend and reality blurs behind closed doors, this confident, charming guy discovers that the woman he thought he knew might actually be the one who could change everything. It's a hilarious, steamy ride full of witty banter and genuine chemistry that neither of them saw coming. Perfect for readers who love a cocky hero with a heart of gold and the smart, sassy woman brave enough to call him on his BS.

flirtatiouselectricyearningconfidentplayful

Witty, flirty energy with undeniable chemistry. Blend upbeat indie-pop and smooth R&B—think Arctic Monkeys' swagger meets Frank Ocean's sensuality. Add confident, playful vocals and tracks that capture the tension between denial and desire. Contemporary romance that's charming, steamy, and unexpectedly genuine.
