The sexy one night stand I had last night is now my billionaire boss. He’s older and his chiseled body made for a night to remember. As a boss it’s a different story. A workaholic to the bone, he’s also a complete bosshole at work. One day he approaches me with a personal request. He needs me to be his fake girlfriend to get his mom off his case about settling down. I take the offer to help him out as his trusted employee. The problem is we can’t keep our hands off each other when we’re alone. His insatiable appetite for my body sends me over the edge. He’s sweet and warm when we’re pretending but cold and distant when we’re not. He doesn’t realize yet that I’m falling for him for real. I must find out if he will succumb to true love and claim me as his forever.

Lex, Luca and Zane stare at me, none of them sure what to say. That's not what gets me, though. It's the fact that Dion is sitting opposite me in my living room. It's rare for all five of us to be together, since Dion lives in London. The fact that he flew here overnight means they're worried about me.
"What is this shit about you two breaking up a week before the wedding?" Dion asks eventually. "You're supposed to be the lucky one out of us, dickhead. You're the only one of us that actually gets to marry the person you love, and you pull this bullshit."
I run a hand through my hair and look up at the ceiling. "It's not like I wanted to, Dion. I'm as surprised as you are. I knew we had our issues, but what couple doesn't? I didn't expect her to call off the wedding for real."
