Axel Reid is a grade A a-hole. He is selfish, manipulative, and he's New York's most despicable playboy. Oh, and he accused me of cheating on him (which never happened). Yes, we dated, regrettably, but that was a long time ago. And I would never care about Axel I'm-the-master-of-universe Reid if I didn't need his help.

Unfortunately, I, Emilia Harris, need his investment, otherwise, my company and all that I've worked for will combust and I will be thrown into the dustbin of infamy together with all the failed girlbosses of the decade.

Ax will help, under one condition, be his girlfriend. It'll be fake. We don't even have to make the pretense public, just convince his over-invested family. Sounds easy. It shouldn't be difficult. If it weren't for these pesky feelings, I'm now developing.

this book can be read as a standalone.
