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.

I'm apprehensive as I park in front of the Du Pont mansion. I should be looking forward to celebrating Hannah's birthday tonight, but things just haven't been the same between us in a while, and it's becoming harder for me to ignore it.
With a mere few weeks until our wedding, every issue we've ever had seems amplified. Perhaps I've just got cold feet, but it feels like more than that. Part of me wonders if the only reason she and I even started dating was the knowledge that we'd end up together eventually, through our arranged marriage.
Except... would we have? The woman my parents wanted me to marry was Raven. If I hadn't… if that night hadn't happened, would I be getting married to Raven?
I run a hand through my hair and draw a shaky breath. It doesn't matter now. There's no going back in time, and cold feet or not, I'll have to marry Hannah if I want to keep my job and my inheritance.
