"I'm not asking for your heart, Mara. Just your signature."
I’m a pragmatic PR specialist. I don't do fairy tales, and I certainly don't fall for wealthy, infuriatingly calm billionaires like Nate Whitfield.
To him, our marriage of convenience is a simple transaction. We agreed to clear boundaries, separate lives, and a pre-signed divorce paper.
But my perfectly organized life implodes when a workplace scandal forces me out of my job. I pivot, landing a coveted role at an elite new agency. The catch? The elusive investor who secretly owns the company is none other than my fake husband.
Now, I’m taking orders from him by day and sharing his penthouse by night.
We have to act like a blissful couple to fool the staff, but this forced proximity is cracking my composed exterior. Nate's polite indifference is morphing into quiet, terrifying possession. It’s in the way he ruthlessly destroys my workplace rivals. The late-night wonton runs in the pouring rain. The slow burn of his gaze when he forgets we’re just playing a part.
