Deal With my Billionaire Boss

I made a deal with my billionaire boss to save my brother's career.
Pretend to be his perfect girlfriend. Simple.
Except we share a forbidden past-and he's determined to make me his again.

Jonas Matthews owns everything: a sports empire, a championship baseball team, and the power to destroy my little brother's dreams with one word.

When he threatens to cut my brother Nico from the team, I'll do anything to stop him. Even accept his twisted proposal: be his fake girlfriend, help him close the biggest deal of his career, and he'll let Nico stay.

The rules are clear:
Public displays only. No touching behind closed doors. Definitely no kissing like we used to.

Because Jonas doesn't know I still remember. Every stolen moment. Every broken promise. Every reason I ran from him three years ago.

But my body remembers too.

The way his hand burns through the silk of my dress at charity galas. How his jaw tightens when other men look at me. The dangerous edge in his voice when he whispers threats that sound like promises: "You're playing with fire, Mae."

He's right. Every fake kiss ignites real flames. Every practiced touch awakens the hunger we buried. And when he corners me in his office, eyes dark with possession, I realize the truth.

This was never about the deal.
He doesn't want a pretend girlfriend.
He wants me. In his bed. In his life. Forever.

And God help me, I'm starting to want it too.

But when our secret past threatens everything-his empire, my brother's future, the walls we've built-we'll have to decide:

Is what we have worth burning it all down?
