I have never been particularly good at following rules. At twenty-two, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by wealth, expectations, and people who think the Du Monté name comes with a handbook I’m supposed to follow. I’ve never bothered reading it. But when my family’s empire finds itself in a situation that threatens everything we’ve built, suddenly independence isn't as simple as it used to be. Then Alexander Vale walks into my life.Billionaire. Heir. Ruthlessly composed. And possibly the most irritating man I’ve ever met. His solution is simple: six months of pretending to be together.Public appearances. Exclusive events. Carefully staged affection. Enough to convince everyone watching that whatever exists between us is real. There are rules. No lying.No jealousy.No interfering in each other’s lives.No changing the arrangement.And absolutely no falling in love. Easy. Except Alexander has a way of challenging every nerve in my body, and I have no intention of letting him think he has the upper hand.What starts as an arrangement quickly becomes something neither of us knows how to control. Because pretending to want someone is easy.Pretending you don't want them is where things get complicated. --- ALEXANDER VALE I don't believe in love.Not the kind people build their lives around.Love creates weaknesses. It compromises judgment. It gives people something to hold over you.I've spent years building the Vale Group by making sure none of those things could happen to me. Then Stella Du Monté becomes a problem I can't simply ignore. She's beautiful, stubborn, unpredictable, and entirely too comfortable challenging me. She doesn't trust me, and I don't trust her. Which makes her perfect for an arrangement neither of us intends to take seriously. Six months.That's all. A public relationship will solve a problem, protect certain interests, and give both of us exactly what we need. The terms are clear.No lies.No jealousy.No interference.No changing the arrangement.And absolutely no falling in love.I intend to follow every rule. Stella, however, seems determined to break them. What I didn't anticipate was how quickly she would become impossible to ignore.How easily the lines between performance and reality would disappear.Or how dangerous it would become when the woman I'm supposed to be pretending to want becomes the only person capable of making me question my own rules. Six months was supposed to be the end. But somewhere between the contracts, family expectations, extravagant events, business battles, and moments neither of us planned for, the terms begin to change.And when the rules start breaking, we may discover that some things were never meant to be controlled.
