Description

About the book

Four weeks as a fake fiancé. One fortune at stake. Feelings were not included in the contract.

Theo Callahan is trying to finish his dissertation while his credit cards and student debt close in. When Julian Ashford offers to clear that debt in exchange for four weeks posing as his fiancé, the proposal sounds impossible to accept—and even harder to refuse.

Julian has no use for romantic complications. He needs a convincing partner at the family estate to satisfy an inheritance clause and secure controlling interest before his scheming cousin can take it. After seeing Theo handle a crisis at a foundation gala, he decides that the outspoken graduate student might be exactly the man the performance needs.

The arrangement is specific: public affection, a shared bedroom, and private boundaries. Neither man anticipates how quickly small gestures begin to matter. Theo finds himself drawn to the person beneath Julian’s strategy. Julian watches Theo fit into family moments that were supposed to be rehearsed.

As their story starts to unravel and the family grows more suspicious, the terms become harder to separate from the truth. Keeping the fortune was Julian’s plan. Keeping Theo may require an entirely different kind of commitment.
