“Fake Date Romance” – A Sizzling Office Romance with All the Feels

It started with a favor.
One night. No strings. Just a black-tie gala and a boss who looked too good in a tux for my sanity.
Josiah —CEO, untouchable, emotionally frozen—asked me to be his fake date. Said I was “presentable… manageable.” Not exactly a compliment, but then again, Josiah doesn’t do soft. He does sharp edges, cold strategy, and impossible standards.
I’ve worked for him for years, kept my head down, my heart sealed shut. I was never the type he dated—too sensible, too structured, too off his radar. So when he asked me, to step into the spotlight at his side, I should’ve said no.
But I didn’t.
Because despite all the reasons to walk away, there’s something about him I’ve never been able to ignore.
That night, something shifted. Between whispered jokes and champagne toasts, between his protective hand at the small of my back and the way his gaze lingered a little too long… the lines blurred. Our banter turned into tension. Our tension turns into something dangerous.
Now, nothing feels fake anymore.
But Josiah has secrets.
And I have rules.
Falling for my boss was never part of the plan. But the way he looks at me now? Like I’m the only thing in the room that matters… It’s everything I never knew I wanted.
This was supposed to be a one-time thing.

Now I’m wondering if pretending was the biggest mistake of all…
Or the best decision I’ve ever made.
