Their families arranged his marriage to Sarah's younger sister, Angela, and before he could make sense of it, he was engaged to a girl he barely knew.

When Angela discovered the truth about their past, she was hurt but didn't turn away. She tried to help, even offering Drake a chance to walk away. But in trying to untangle the mess, she and Drake began to grow closer. And as the lines between duty and desire blurred, they were forced to ask: were they falling for each other-or just trying to heal what Sarah never cared to break?Complete

Six months. Ten million dollars. One fake engagement between a venomous high-society ice queen... and the stubborn, broke girl caught in her diamond cage. The deal was simple: wear her ring. smile for the cameras. play the perfect fiancée. survive her world. walk away paid. But Eloise Laurent doesn't play fair. And every glance. every fight. every slow, burning touch twists the game into something darker - and far more dangerous - than either of them ever intended. Because the most dangerous thing to fake... is love.
