For years, Sophie Bennett has been trapped under one infuriating rumor: that she and her longtime enemy Adrian Cross are secretly in love. She has denied it, ignored it, and finally grown too tired to care. Then a stunning woman shows up at her door and tells her to break up with Adrian-for the right price.
Sophie has no intention of playing by anyone else's rules. In a fit of spite and impulse, she throws herself into the arms of Ethan Sterling, a cold, composed man who turns out to be far more obedient-and far more dangerous to her peace of mind-than she expected. What begins as a reckless act of revenge quickly turns into something far more complicated when Ethan sticks close, spoils her in private, and makes it impossible to tell whether he is playing along or falling just as hard.
But gossip has a way of following Sophie everywhere. Adrian keeps showing up. Her friends start noticing the lies. Her family has questions. And the closer Ethan gets, the more Sophie realizes she may have mistook a game for something real.
In a world of designer gifts, public humiliation, and jealous old wounds, Sophie must decide who is truly fighting for her-and whether she's ready to risk everything for a man she never meant to want.
