When a gorgeous lawyer hires you to be her fake boyfriend, the only professional thing to do is...
keep your hands to yourself.
I have rules. Rule number one: never fall for a client. It's a good rule. A smart rule. A rule that made complete sense before Ali walked into my life with strawberry blond hair, gray eyes that see straight through me, and a situation so spectacularly messy I couldn't say no.
The job: play her perfect boyfriend for one weekend at her sister's wedding. The catch? I'm not the wealthy neurosurgeon she's told everyone I am. I'm just a barista with a side hustle, trying to scrape together enough cash to buy the coffee shop I've been dreaming about.
Simple plan. Clean plan. Completely manageable plan.
Except Ali happens.
The PDAs happen. The rehearsal dinner happens. A family heirloom goes missing and somehow that's my problem now. And yes - the coat closet happens. Which is where things got... complicated. Don't ask.
Here's what I keep telling myself: This is just business. Her lip bite isn't doing anything to me. The chemistry is purely for show. I am absolutely not in over my head.
The real problem? Somewhere between pretending to be in love and watching Ali hold herself together in front of the people who should have protected her, I stopped pretending.
And that's going to cost me everything - the money, the dream, and the one rule I should never have broken.
A steamy, laugh-out-loud romance about a man with a plan, a woman who demolishes it, and a coat closet that changes everything.
