What's worse than being single at your high school reunion?
Accidentally blurting out you're engaged… to your hot best friend!
My bakery just burned down. My dress is too tight. Oh, and the mean girls? Still as nasty as ever.
So I try to put on a brave face when in walks Julian.
All custom suit and sin, looking like every fantasy I've ever had.
Panicking, I grab my billionaire best friend and do something insane: I announce we're getting married!
Julian
I always wanted Maggie in high school but, damn, I kept my hands to myself.
Since then, I've survived a messy divorce and earned my stripes as a single dad.
But now, I'm done wanting.
So I don't just play along with her little stunt. I own it.
'You're mine now,' I murmur against her ear, then kiss her in front of the whole room.
Now we're fake engaged, and since I need a nanny and she needs a little rescuing, she moves in.
And that's when things really heat up.
Every breathless kiss, every burning touch, every pleading moan is proof—this was never fake for me.
And when I hear her breath hitch as I whisper, 'Tell me you don't want this,' I know there's no going back.
She thinks this is temporary. She thinks it'll ruin our friendship. She thinks I'll let her walk away when this is over.
Not a chance. I told her she's mine.
Now she's about to see what happens when a man refuses to let go of the one thing he can't live without.
Get ready to fall in love with this spicy single dad fake engagement romance. No cheating and a very satisfying HEA.
