Cleo Marsh never expected her three-year relationship to end without warning. Heartbroken and humiliated, she drowns her sorrows in alcohol and spends the night with a complete stranger. Three weeks later, she comes face to face with Xavier Voss, the man she had a one night stand with and the powerful CEO of the company holding her family’s future in his hands. His offer is simple, pretend to be his girlfriend for six months, and he’ll save her family’s collapsing business. What begins as a business arrangement soon becomes far more complicated than either of them expected, especially when Cleo discovers that the man she’s pretending to love is actually her ex-boyfriend’s half-brother. As buried secrets begin to surface and the lines between pretense and reality begin to blur, Cleo finds herself caught between the heartbreak she thought she’d left behind and a future she never saw coming.
