Seattle Billionaires

My brother's billionaire best friend is my new boss.The same man who's hated me for years, you ask? Yep, the very one.Nicholas Park has the worst reputation in the city. He isn't a man you befriend-trust me, I've tried.No, he's made it crystal clear what he thinks of me. Vain. Spoiled. Undeserving. I could probably continue, but then I'd have to ask Nick for his list, and he'd say no.Courtesy of my brother, Nick reluctantly offers me a consulting job at his firm. He expects me to turn it down, of course.I accept out of spite.Three months of arguments and dark stares. Of sudden, stolen kisses at company parties. The heat between us grows, bursting into a wildfire that threatens to consume me whole.Nick has pushed me away all these years for a reason. For your own good, as he says. I'm not the man for you.But I refuse to listen. We're done playing it safe.

Liam Carter was once my best friend and childhood crush. Now he's a playboy billionaire in need of a fake fiancée.The first time I meet Liam again after fifteen years, I ruin his suit with marinara sauce at a fancy party. I'm the caterer, he's the guest. It's only mildly humiliating.But the second time I see him? That's when he pops the question all girls long to hear. Will you be my fake fiancée? Apparently, he needs to shed his playboy image, and fast.Liam's nothing like the boy I remember. Tall, broad and poured into tailored suits, he now has more money than he can count. In exchange for my help, he vows to make my cheating ex jealous, showing up to my job with roses in hand and crooked smiles.It's a game, just like the ones we played as kids.Well, maybe not just like those-they never involved heated kisses.But as make-believe bleeds into reality, I can't stop wondering… Are we too different now to make something last?
