Promise Me Everything

Demi Fraser learned long ago that love comes with conditions; if it comes at all. Growing up in foster care, she learned that survival depends on self-reliance. With high school nearly behind her and college on the horizon, her only focus is securing a future far from the ghosts of her past.

Wesley Bennet has spent his life playing a role; the perfect son of a powerful family, the golden boy set to inherit an empire if he follows the path laid out for him. But when his father demands he date Sadie Tucker, the daughter of a business associate, Wesley refuses to be a pawn in yet another strategic arrangement, so he creates his own, turning to the one person guaranteed to upend his father's plans: Demi.

Their arrangement is simple: Demi will pretend to be Wesley's girlfriend for their last summer together, and in return, Wesley will negotiate a steep rent discount on an apartment for her freshman year. No emotions, no complications. But what begins as a calculated transaction soon starts to unravel when the lines between real and pretend begin to blur.

When their fake relationship starts to feel like the safest thing Demi has ever known, she'll have to decide if risking her heart is worth the price of love.
