Eliza: I don’t believe in manifesting; I like plans, my normal routine, and I’m not a risk taker. But a weak moment on New Year’s Eve makes me scribble a secret, humiliating resolution on paper.
I never expected Mackenzie Carrington—the hot and elusive real estate mogul—to read it over my shoulder. Instead of mocking me, he surprises me with a proposition.
Act the part of his doting girlfriend to prove to his traditionalist father that he’s ready to take over as CEO.
In exchange, Mac will personally help me step into a new era: one where I shed my sheltered, careful and predictable persona.
Mac: My father’s ultimatum was clear: bring my “serious” girlfriend to his retirement gala and show stability, or kiss the CEO position goodbye.
Remembering Eliza Pierce’s not-so-innocent manifestation was the break I needed.
The deal is simple: she provides the respectable image I require to secure my future, and I give her the experiences she’s been missing.
I thought six months with her would satisfy my curiosity, but the more time we spend together, the less fake our relationship feels.
Now I have to face my biggest challenge—can I not only convince my father I’ve changed, but convince Eliza to stay?
