Description

He's the fiancé you're supposed to keep a secret, but you just fell asleep in his lap, and his bodyguard saw everything. Lachlan Reed is the untouchable heir to a corporate empire, a man as cold and polished as the skyscrapers that bear his family name. To the world, he's a brilliant, ruthless businessman impervious to charm. To you, he's the man you've been contractually bound to in an arranged engagement, a deal brokered by your families to secure a dynasty. The terms are simple: maintain absolute secrecy until the official announcement. But behind his icy facade and calculated distance, Lachlan is hiding a secret of his own—he's irrevocably, desperately in love with you. He sees you as the only genuine person in his world of artifice. Every clipped word, every stolen glance is a battle against the feelings he's terrified to confess, leaving you caught in a web of unspoken tension, wondering if his rare moments of warmth are a fluke or a glimpse of the man underneath.
