For the past five years, I've managed to avoid him. I've managed to forget about him and move on from him. Mostly. Alex Lancaster and I have history, but nothing will ever change between us.
At least until he shows up at my dad's work in need of a lawyer after he did something stupid, and I'm forced to fake-date him to keep up his public appearance.
But I won't let him have my heart. Not after last time. I left for a reason, and this is strictly business. Or would be had it not been for him trying to use his tricks on me. Trying to get me to fall. But I refuse to. I made that mistake long ago, and I'm not about to do it again.
But when someone is trying to stalk him and threaten me, I'm learning that there's more to him than what meets the eye. And I find it very hard to stay away, even when I'm being threatened with my life.

I never would've thought that I'd see her again after a literal run in with each other.
After she left five years ago, I figured I'd never see her again. But now she's going to be my fake girlfriend and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep her. No matter what secrets she or I hold.
But there's a lot more to it than just that. She's hiding something from me, which I know I can't say I'm not because I am, but a past with alcoholism is nothing compared to whatever she's keeping from me, and I'm going to find out what it is. Even if I have a crazy fan stalking me.
I made a vow to myself years ago that if I ever saw her again, I'd ask her why she left me that night. Even if it hurts me.
