Rule No. 1: Don't Fall
"He made the rules. I just had to follow them. Thirty days. That's how long I have to pretend to be Grayson Ashford's girlfriend. To the public, he's a billionaire genius with ice in his veins and charm on his tongue. To me, he's the man holding my brother's future hostage. The rules were simple: - Smile for the cameras. - Play the part. - Don't fall in love. But nothing about Grayson is simple. Not the way he looks at me like I'm a challenge. Not the way he protects me like I'm more than just a prop. And definitely not the way my heart starts to forget the deal we made. Because the longer I stay, the more I realize one thing: He doesn't just break the rules-he rewrites them. And the first rule I break... might just break me." "I needed money. He needed a lie. We both got more than we bargained for."Complete
