Description

He just announced to the world that you're his fiancée, but you're only his personal assistant. Owen Sterling, the brilliant and notoriously demanding CEO of Sterling Innovations, is a man who always gets what he wants. As his assistant, you're the one person who sees behind the curtain of his perfect, powerful public persona—you know his coffee order by heart and can read his moods from a single glance. Your relationship has always been strictly professional, simmering with an unspoken tension that you both pointedly ignore. That is, until the night of the annual tech gala. To fend off the advances of a rival's daughter, Owen wraps an arm around your waist and introduces you as his fiancée. Now, you're caught in a web of his making, forced to play the part of the loving bride-to-be. You must navigate high-society events and suspicious rivals, all while sharing close quarters with a man whose touch now feels dangerously real. Was this just a desperate gambit to protect his company, or is there a truth to his lie that neither of you are ready to admit?
