Everly Summers

romantic comedy(142)

A romance writer fakes a relationship with Manhattan's hottest billionaire to make her ex jealous — then actually falls.

Description

One fake relationship. Two stubborn hearts. And a billionaire who has no business being this charming. Violet Hart writes romance for a living-well, tries to. When she's not battling writer's block, she's dodging her ex, who dumped her like last season's fashion. So when a chance encounter with a jaw-droppingly gorgeous stranger turns into a wild, wine-fueled idea-fake date her way into making said ex regret everything-Violet's in. One tiny detail: the stranger? Yeah, he's Alex Bennetti. Manhattan's most untouchable billionaire bachelor. The man who graces gossip columns like it's his side hustle. The kind of guy who doesn't do relationships, fake or otherwise. But Alex has image problems of his own, and Violet? She's the perfect solution. No strings, no feelings, just mutually beneficial, totally platonic, definitely-not-going-to-get-messy fake dating. Spoiler alert: It gets messy. Suddenly, Violet's wearing designer gowns to black-tie galas, sipping champagne like she belongs, and falling hard for the one man who swore he wouldn't catch her. Because when Alex Bennetti decides to make you feel like the only woman in the room, fiction doesn't stand a chance against reality. Now Violet's left wondering: Is this just a story they're telling the world¿or the start of their own happily-ever-after? Pretending to be His is book one in the Bennetti Boys series, perfect for fans of fake dating, opposites attract, spicy banter, and billionaires who fall first and hard. Warning: May cause swooning, excessive grinning, and the sudden urge to find your own Alex Bennetti. This book contains a fun blend of fake dating and billionaire romance tropes perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn, Melanie Harlow and LJ Shen.
