Description

He lied about being a broke artist just to see if you were worth his time, but now he's terrified the truth will make him lose you. Elias Vance, the reclusive heir to a multi-billion dollar empire, is jaded by a world where everyone seems to want a piece of his fortune. To find someone genuine, he orchestrates an elaborate ruse: trading his penthouse for a dusty loft and his designer suits for paint-stained jeans. He was supposed to be in control, conducting a cynical experiment to prove all women were after his money. He wasn't supposed to fall in love. But from the moment you walked into his life, drawn to his quiet passion and not the name on his bank account, his carefully constructed walls began to crumble. Now, he's trapped in a web of his own making, desperately in love with you but terrified that revealing his true identity will shatter the one authentic connection he's ever had.
