Dimitri Hardy and I were never meant to be friends. He was a bold, high-stakes investor. I was trying to escape the glamorous life my parents had given me. He was carefree and fun. I was uptight and dramatic. He had it all together. I was falling apart. So when Dimitri saw me at my lowest, after my cheating professor-turned-boyfriend made me redo my thesis, he offered me a deal: Help him earn the trust of my upscale hometown, and he’d help me finish my thesis. His plan? Move back home. Fake a relationship with him for the summer. Show the town that he’s the trustworthy businessman they need. Pretend to be madly in love in public while ignoring the undeniable chemistry growing between us. It sounds simple enough—except for the small problem of sharing a bed… and the way he makes my pulse race with every stolen touch and smoldering look. One summer in my hometown could ruin everything. But denying the heat between us might just destroy me. Get ready for a scorching fake-dating romance, packed with a possessive billionaire who’ll do anything for the woman who’s stealing his heart.
