started with one reckless lie…
Now I’m fake dating the one man I should hate—my ex’s older brother.
He’s off-limits in every possible way.
The black sheep. The gruff one.
The man I’ve blamed for destroying my family.
I said I was with him to protect the platform I’ve poured my heart into.
One careless comment caught on camera… now I need him to play along.
He’s the last man I should ask for anything.
But he says yes, and nothing feels fake after that.
Because he looks at me like he’s starving.
Touches me like I already belong to him.
And kisses me like he’s been waiting years to break every rule.
I shouldn’t want him. I shouldn’t fall.
But I do—right into the bed of the man who growls my name like a sin.
And takes me like he’s trying to erase every trace of his brother from my skin.
The closer we get, the more the past starts to unravel.
And when I find out what really happened the night my brother passed…
Loving the wrong man might destroy me all over again.
