He’s the boss she’s been secretly in love with for three years. She’s the woman he thought he’d never deserve. Now they’re fake engaged. And the whole world is watching. Josh Huxley is a powerhouse attorney with a devastating smile, a ruthless legal mind, and a secret that keeps him up at night: he’s terrified he inherited his sociopathic mother’s darkest traits. To keep his family from worrying, he dates a revolving door of women he’ll never love—and keeps the one woman who silences his demons at a careful arm’s length. Ailee Klein knows her place. She’s the overlooked twin, the family disappointment, the assistant who quietly adores her unattainable boss. When her cheating fiancé is exposed in a very public restaurant meltdown, Josh does the last thing anyone expects—he claims she’s his. One lie. Six months. A sapphire ring that feels dangerously real on her finger. As they navigate a fake engagement under the scrutiny of his powerful family and her toxic one, the line between pretend and real begins to blur. He buys her flowers no one ever thought to give her. She offers him the grace no one ever believed he deserved. But Josh’s mother—a manipulative mafia princess with an agenda of her own—is circling closer. And the closer Ailee gets to Josh’s heart, the bigger the target on her back. Can he face the parts of himself he’s spent a lifetime running from to keep her safe? She thinks this is just an arrangement. He knows she’s the only woman who’s ever made him believe he deserves happiness. And when their six months are up, neither one will be ready to let go.
