My name is Sofia Cardilla and the phrase YOLO can't apply to me. I can't live once, I have to live four more times for the other members of my family. I have no time for a social life since I have to work part time to support my family. I have a non-existent romantic life and I really don't care. My two main priorities are to take good care of my family and to get an education so that I can get a good job when I finish high school. Then this guy came along, he was ordinary looking, that pursued me until I accepted his invitation to go on a date with him. After that date some pretty weird stuff started to happen. I eventually found out that he was a Billionaire and he wanted to find a girlfriend who liked him for who he really was and not his money. After meeting his parents, I decided to take a break from us seeing each other but he wouldn't give up that easily. He was determined not to lose me. Can I hide from my Billionaire Boyfriend?

Lisa and her boss, Alessandro, agree to spite their exes by pretending to date, but things begin to backfire when fake feelings become real along the way. ***** For two years, Lisa Brooks worked as a secretary to the powerful self-made billionaire, Alessandro Russo. He hardly noticed her, and to him, she was nothing more than a co-worker who wore conservative clothes, a tight bun, and followed his orders. But when Lisa's heart gets broken by her first love and Alessandro starts to lose his willpower to avoid Gretchen (his ex-girlfriend and now-client's wife), they decide to help each other out by fake dating. I mean, how hard can it be to not fall in love? [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Ashley Santoro
