*****
Audrey Willows has it all; fame, beauty, and a career most women dream of. But when a scandalous photo of her in bed with the enigmatic billionaire Jonathan Ryder hits the tabloids, everything she's built teeters on the edge of ruin.
Determined to protect their reputations, Jonathan proposes a bold solution: a fake engagement. He's a man of precision and order, not one for romance or complications, especially not with a woman like Audrey. But as the world watches their every move, pretending to be in love starts to blur the line between act and reality.
What begins as a strategic cover-up slowly unravels secrets, challenges past wounds, and forces both of them to face what they truly want.
Can a lie built to fix a mistake become the truth they never knew they needed?!
