A fake marriage to the sexiest billionaire ever is my only lifeline.

But I hate him for causing my parents' death.

I fled years ago, blaming him.

I've returned to care for my comatose brother, and there he is.

Dylan MacLaine. My brother's best friend is now CEO of the empire he built, and the town's golden boy.

Cocky and dominant, his tight jeans showcase his muscular thighs and tight buns.

He offers a fake marriage as a lifeline to save my brother's business.

I agree, unaware of his hidden agenda.

We were just pretending... at first.

But our charade starts to feel too real.

Our touch, electric. Every caress sends shockwaves through me.

I need him to do things to me. Naughty things.

Desire and dread wage war in my heart.

Will his secrets tear us apart?
