❝You can't reset the game and expect a different ending after you've played me.❞ 

                                                                                             ****

Emily James is one disaster away from losing it all. Being a struggling photographer in New York City isn't glamorous-it's a grind of low-paying gigs and mounting debt. Her dreams of making it big are slipping further away, overshadowed by the reality of bills she can't pay.

Enter Alexander Wolfe. CEO. Cold. Untouchable. At least, that's what everyone says. When Emily accidentally spills champagne on him at a high-profile event, she thinks she's just ruined her last shot at a break. But instead of disaster, Alexander offers her a deal: he needs a fake fiancé to take over the family business before his siblings get their hands on it, and in exchange, he'll erase her debts and secure her financial future.

The rules are simple: be his adoring partner for a few months, play the part, and everything she's ever wanted will be within reach. But nothing about Alexander is simple.

Beneath the icy exterior, Emily discovers layers she didn't expect-kindness where there should be cruelty, vulnerability where there should be power. What started as a business deal starts to feel dangerously real. The more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to keep pretending.

In a world full of lies and hidden agendas, can Emily risk falling for a man who may never truly be hers?

When Ph.D. candidate Scarlett is forced to play loving wife to her mentor's playboy son, the last thing she expects is to fall for the fantasy herself. ***** Scarlett Rong has dedicated her life to anthropology, and she wouldn't have it any other way, even if her overbearing Ph.D. mentor makes a social life impossible. Dr. Alexeev has the power to make or break Scarlett's career and there's no way she's risking that. Even if it means getting roped into a holiday scheme that can't possibly be university policy. When Maxwell, the rebellious son of Dr. Alexeev's ex-husband gets into a car accident that leaves him with amnesia, Alexeev is far from heartbroken - in fact, she sees it as the perfect opportunity to find out why he's planning on signing his billion-dollar company away to his best friend for pennies. Before she knows it, Scarlett finds herself playing doting wife to the infamous playboy to find out the truth. But as the lies become more entangled, Scarlett finds herself questioning her involvement in this scheme, and more importantly, what her true feelings are for the handsome billionaire.

Against my better judgment, I answer, "Look I told you, you have the wrong number," I say a bit too harshly. "I wish I was the girl you were looking for but I'm not." "You do, huh?" His husky voice fills my ear again and I shiver. What the hell is he going on about? "What are you talking about?" I ask confused. "That you wish you were the girl I was looking for," he says amused. I groan remembering exactly what I said and palm my face, "I said that huh?" "Uh huh!" *** Fallon Mathews is a waitress who works entirely too hard and too much. She is pretty, smart, and not shy. Alexander Grant is the owner of one of the hottest clubs around- which just so happens to be the same club that Fallon likes to go to in her free time. Oh did I also mention that he is the son of a well-known CEO? A billionaire? No!? Well, he is. He isn't a player, but he does sleep around a lot. After all, he is single. What happens after he is given the wrong number that just so happens to be, Fallon's? Love, friendship, heartache, drama, and tragedy all in one! **WARNING** There most likely will be lots of errors!
