Linnea Fredriksen has a flawless eye for design, but was blind to her dependence on her toxic ex-husband until he took half her business and all but one client. Now she only has a small team she'd do anything to protect, and a new rule.
Never depend on a man again.

Then her only client; the charmer and devil-may-care billionaire Aiden Aurellan, needs a fake date for his mother’s wedding.

Agreeing to the ruse means a foot in the door with the clients she needs. But it also means breaking her rule; she’ll be even more entangled with one man. The exact man she's kept at arm's length since he saw a side of her she wants to forget.

But behind Aiden’s charm Linnea finds a man who cares deeply. He holds her hair when she’s sick. He’s attentive to her in a way she’s never experienced. The walls she has built to protect herself are slowly crumbling.

She’s convinced he isn’t at all like her ex.

Until he is.
