Falling for the façade...
Harper Mitchell knows that professional success doesn't always come easy, and she's not afraid from all the back-breaking work. But her flair for business can't help with her latest problem -- finding a fake boyfriend for a weekend away with her boss!
Matteo De Luca, maverick of the racing world, is Harper's polar opposite. When I mean opposite, I mean it. Yet helping buttoned-up Harper let her hair -- and whatever else she wants -- down is an irresistible temptation. Especially when Matt gets under her ice-cool demeanor and discovers a woman as hot as one of his cars.
