My name is Andrea Benson-Drea, to most people. I've been working for Raylan Carter for a while, and it didn't take long to learn the important things: how he takes his coffee, when not to interrupt him, and that he guards his personal life tighter than a locked vault.
But, when Raylan's future at his company-and my job-suddenly hang in the balance, he comes to me with a proposal I can't refuse.
To save everything, I need to learn everything about him. Not his surface level preferences and annoying quirks, but the real, deep shit.
AND, I need to do it fast. Because for the next few weeks, I'm not just his assistant.
I'm his fiancée.
Our mission? Convince a world-renowned couples therapist that we're trying to fix our relationship.
Simple enough... until the lines between pretending and truly feeling start to blur.
Either way, we don't have a choice. We're in this. But, what happens if we can't fool her?
Or worse-what happens next if we can?

Deceptive Affections
Someone was standing in front me. The light from the small window illuminated the room a bit. And I saw the face of the person in front of me. It was Reyaan. "Reyaan, wha..." I was unable to finish my sentence as he pinned me against the wall. His one hand was on my waist and another was beside my head. Anger or maybe frustration? clouded his face. "Why are you avoiding me?", he asked in his deep and frustrated voice. "I am not avoiding you", I answered. "Lie", he growled. I tried to speak but he shut me up by lowering his voice further and said, "I will not ask you again. Tell me why are you avoiding me?" Somehow his deep voice managed to make the butterflies in my heart flutter. Before I could say something, I heard my name being called out. I moved my head towards the voice but Reyaan's hand tightened on my waist and I looked up at him "Please let me go. Everyone's looking for me. What if they see us like this?" I pleaded. "Let them, I don't care. It's better if every fucker here knows you are mine.", he said while kissing my neck. This is NOT an arranged marriage. #20 in fake dating.

Trapped In Love ✓
"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips.

My bandana is yellow. Dani tied it for me. Worse: she's the team captain. Worse than that? She keeps calling me "Mango Commander." "Alright, Commander," she says, jogging up beside me with two coconuts and zero shame. "You're on water balloon defense. If you get hit, we lose points." "Who designed this?" "Me," she says proudly. "Also I may have borrowed half of it from a summer camp activity called 'Fruit Wars.'" She hands me a coconut. "Why are there faces on them?" "For morale." I stare at her.

ALESSANDRO
"Now since we are done with the introductions I have a question. Are you sure about this marriage?" I nodded "I am." He scoffed and leaned against the wall behind with hands in his pants pockets "Why? Because I have money?" What? "Are you impressed by this mansion?" I can be scared of Dad but he is no one to address me as a gold digger and say bullshit. "I don't care if you take me as a gold digger. You are no one who I am bound to explain anything to." I turned back to leave but he held my hand pulling me with a sudden force making our chest crashed against each other. He held my waist pulling me closer, suddenly again that feeling of nervousness filled me.

Just Following Orders
He usually prefers his employees to be less...bubbly. Energetic. A little more like him, essentially. But there was something about her the moment she introduced herself. Maybe it was the way she looked at him, or the way she smiled at everyone in her line of sight, who knows. But, whatever the reason is, he hates it. He hates that he gave into that feeling when he met her. She manages to find her way into his mind 24/7, unlike any woman ever has. She doesn't think she's ever seen someone as angry at the world as him. He can be rude and he doesn't always think about other's feelings before he speaks. A scowl somehow is always set on his face, like he was born that way. For any other person, a man like that would make you want to simply ignore him. But not her. She has her heart set on making him smile. Even just a little. Maybe even a laugh. And she is not giving up any time soon. It's not hard to tell that two people with personalities like theirs can lead to a dangerous combination.Complete
To Love & To Hold
"Shhhh," he cut me off, his palms spreading on the revealed skin of my abdomen. His index fingers made their way into the waistband of my sweatpants as he pressed his front closer to my behind. "Don't shush m-" I tried to argue. "I said so," he stated, his tone going deeper as his hand went lower, this time to the waistband of my panties. I couldn't control my breathing anymore, more so as his teeth lightly grazed my neck. "So you better obey." ^^^^^^^ They say "A night in Vegas can change your life." Rachel didn't think this saying would apply to her. Well that was until she opened the door of her hotel room after a crazy night out.

All Yours
"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25Complete
