Matthew Hale—my boss, my best friend, and now my pretend lover?

Suddenly, my life is a romantic comedy, but the punchline is my pounding heart.

He insists on being my bodyguard, claiming it's not just about the job—it's personal.

I've always found him attractive, but a girl like me can't be more than friends with a rich, dreamy guy like him... right?

Yet, here we are, faking a relationship to throw off my stalker, and his touch feels dangerously real.

His protective instincts are a temptation I can't resist.

In this tangled web of lies, the lines blur between pretend and reality.

But can I trust that his feelings for me aren't just another act?
