Valentina Sinclair is one "no" away from packing her bags and leaving Hollywood in the rearview mirror. Then comes the lifeline: a career-making lead role in the year's most anticipated blockbuster. There's just one tiny, million-dollar catch.
To save the production's sinking reputation, Valentina must play the role of a lifetime off-screen, too. She has to convince the world she's head-over-heels for her co-star, Nathaniel Wolfe.
He's the industry's crown jewel-enigmatic, untouchable, and famously guarded. To the public, he's the ultimate leading man; to Valentina, he's a cold professional who treats their "romance" like a business merger. For twelve months, every public kiss is scripted. Every private glance is a rehearsal.
But as the lines between the script and their lives begin to bleed together, the act starts to feel dangerously like the truth. Valentina is breaking the one rule of the contract: don't fall for the lie.

Yalnız başına kaldığı koskoca hayatta rahmine düşen bebeği onu ne kadar ayakta tutmaya çalışsa da tamamen ayağa kaldırmıyordu çünkü Duru, ailesinin yıllarca sakladığı sırları kademe kademe öğrenirken gerçeklerin acısı tokat gibi yüzüne çarpıyor, yalanlarla özenle inşa edilmiş hayatının merdivenleri bir bir kırılıyordu. Bu süreçte Kuzey Ulusoy, Duru'yu ve bebeğini ilk andan beri aralarındaki anlaşmazlığa rağmen kabul etmişti. Bebeğinin annesinin yaşadığı yükler, öğrendiği sarsıcı gerçeklerle yanında duruyordu. Ama Duru da Kuzey de farkındaydı ki; Duru, üzerine yıkılan enkazdan kurtulduğunda, aynı Duru olmayacaktı...

Mr. CEO's Fiery Nanny
I beg to differ that.", I sassed and got out of his grip ready to move out of the room when he pulled me by my elbow and the next second I was pushed on the visitor's chair. He trapped me completely by keeping his palms on the arms of the chair. "I tried to tell you patiently.", I scoffed at his words. Patience and he don't go in a single sentence. He gripped my chin making me look into his eyes."Now listen carefully Miss, I want you for my niece as her babysitter. Tell me how much you'll take and we can seal the deal." This time it was me who blinked once, twice and thrice. "But I don't want to work for you." See the reason was absolutely clear. I liked the kid since the moment I met her but I hated this man from the moment I gazed into his eyes. "How much?" I frowned."You really think your money can make everyone dance on your tips?" "1200 dollars a week." I rolled my eyes making him lean towards me." 1500?" "Make it 15000 and still I won't work for you.", I retorted and pushed him. I walked to the door and gave him one glance."Next time when you talk to me, make sure you keep all your richness aside. That's one thing that I never want to see you again, you self-centred CEO." "We shall see." . . . Brave but lonely. Passionate but sensitive. That's Arielle Summers. For everyone, Money, Assets and happiness may be supreme but to her, self-respect is prime. Cold and reckless. Commanding and ruthless. That was Nicolas Arnold. He only cared for his niece, his Mama and his friends. Love life didn't exist until- she came into the picture. *No Toxic Relationship. No ex-crush/lover/fiance/wife. The male lead is the uncle of the child in this book, he's not a manwhore.
