Asher Hawke thought his latest assignment would be routine—play the role of devoted fiancé to Charlotte Lane, the glamorous, headstrong socialite caught in a web of high-society schemes. But what he didn’t expect was the whirlwind of danger, deception, and undeniable attraction that would come with it.
Charlotte’s father is being pressured to marry her off to the son of a powerful tycoon—a union that would spell disaster for the Lane family. Desperate to protect her father, Charlotte needs a fiancé, fast. Enter Asher, her gruff yet charming security specialist, who’s tasked with pretending they’re madly in love during a high-stakes, week-long family retreat.
As they navigate luxury dinners, whispered threats, and suspicious glances, the line between pretend and real begins to blur. With secrets at every turn, and someone determined to see this fake engagement fail, Asher must keep Charlotte safe—while also fighting the growing feelings he swore he’d never let happen.
