I never said I was engaged to Alex Stone (a.k.a., the richest man in Eureka)…
My douchey ex just assumed I was, and I didn’t correct him.
You see, I was having a moment.
I was out of work, out of money, and Alex had just offered me a lifeline by hiring me to be his live-in nanny for a month.
So when Drake the douche starts going on about what a hot mess I am at my best friend’s wedding, I kind of let him believe we were a thing.
I never said the word fiancé, and I definitely never expected Alex to play along.
Alex Stone is one of those list-topping, billionaire businessmen-types.
He’s controlled, formal, and never makes a bad decision.
He’s also tall, dark, and brutally handsome, with smokey hazel eyes, wavy brown hair, and a bod that will melt your brain.
(A detail I happen to know after accidentally catching him just out of the shower naked.)
The plan is he’ll secretly be my fake fiancé for the night, no harm done.
But when the douche stays longer than the wedding, our “engagement” stops being a secret.
And when Alex decides there are things we should know how to do if we’re engaged (like making out and sleeping together), my lie really gets out of control.
Because it’s one thing to be fake engaged to the hottest, richest man in town, who also happens to be your live-in boss.
It’s a little twist to find yourself falling in love with him.
These two have been dancing around one another since Cass was just thirteen years old when Alex happened upon her skinny dipping. Neither will ever forget the day they met, since she was the first girl he ever saw naked, and he was her first kiss. They’ve been interested in one another for more than half a lifetime, but both assume the other isn’t interested at all. They’re paired up as the MOH and best man when his brother marries her best friend but what truly throws them together is a big fat lie to make her ex jealous.
When Cass lets her jerk ex believe they’re engaged, she immediately regrets it, but Alex offers to go along with it and that’s not the only thing he wants. He knows it’s a bad idea to hire the woman he lusts after as a nanny for his daughter, but Cass needs a job and a place to stay while he needs a nanny, so not asking her isn’t an option. I really loved these characters, so they grabbed me from the first pages. Cass is sweet and funny and the way she panics about her future is so relatable to anyone who’s ever adulted. Alex is equal parts hot dad who melts heart and hot DILF who melts panties so I couldn’t get enough of him. The supporting cast in this series is also a lot of fun and brings a lot to the story. This is a series I really enjoy and highly recommend.
