Publisher's summary
I’m fake-engaged to the grumpy billionaire who took me in after my bakery burned down.
Chase Archer was supposed to be my enemy.
The arrogant billionaire who moved back to our small town with plans to “modernize” everything—including the block my bakery sits on.
Then the fire happened. One minute I had a home above my shop, the next I was standing in ashes with nowhere to go.
And somehow, Chase offered me a place to stay.
He’s gruff, impossible, and maddeningly protective. I keep telling myself it’s temporary—but my ex is suing for custody and Chase suggests a wild solution that helps us both: pretend we’re engaged.
Now we’re living under the same roof, sharing secrets, stolen glances, and far too many almost-kisses.
Somewhere between the fake smiles and real touches, I start to fall for the man I swore I’d never trust.
But if our lie comes to light,
Chase will lose the project putting hundreds of my community out of work, and I could lose custody of my son.
