Love Wasn't Part Of The Deal
One night was never supposed to matter. After a messy breakup and way too many drinks, Elizabeth Greene ended up in bed with a gorgeous stranger. He had piercing gray eyes and the kind of devastating good looks that seemed too perfect to be real. She still did the smart thing, though. She slipped out before sunrise, ready to forget the mistake and move on. She didn't realize the paparazzi were watching. Or that the stranger was Arthur Darrington. Now the photos are everywhere, and Arthur's carefully constructed image is slipping into public chaos. He isn't used to scandals. He isn't used to being ghosted. Especially not after a one-night stand that has become front-page news. So he finds her. With an offer: play his girlfriend, fix the damage, and walk away with enough money to change her life. The only rule? Strictly business. No feelings. Elizabeth knows it's a bad idea. But she needs the money, and she refuses to be intimidated by a billionaire who looks like he's never been told no in his life. She's blunt, impossible to manage, and far more tempting than she should be. And the more time he spends with her, the more Arthur realizes this isn't just about saving his reputation anymore. Because what started as damage control is beginning to feel a lot like something neither of them agreed to feel. And pretending is getting harder to stop.Complete

He shrugged. "Feels like ten minutes," I scoffed in disbelief. "Feels more like ten seconds," he said, adding to my frustration. "What the....are you even understanding the point i am trying to make right now?" He got on his feet, letting out at sigh. "Listen, Mami, I didn't have breakfast today because my belly and taste buds were craving something else." I furrowed my brows in confusion. What the....
