Evangeline "Evie" Rossi lives her life covered in flour, fighting to keep her late grandfather's Brooklyn bakery alive. She doesn't have time for corporate suits, let alone Julian Vance-the cold, calculating, infuriatingly handsome CEO of Vance Enterprises who just bought out her entire block to build luxury high-rises. To Evie, he's a heartless predator. To Julian, she's just an eviction notice waiting to happen. But when a devastating PR scandal threatens to destroy Julian's multi-billion-dollar empire, the media labels him the "Goliath of Gotham." Desperate to fix his public image before his investors mutiny, Julian proposes a wicked deal to the one girl who openly loathes him on viral video: Fake an engagement with him for six months to prove he has a heart, and he will hand over the deed to her bakery, completely debt-free. The rules are simple: No catching feelings. Strict boundaries. Perfect smiles for the paparazzi. But as the cameras flash and the lines between hatred and desire begin to blur, Evie realizes the only thing more dangerous than fighting Julian Vance... is pretending to love him.
