He thought a fake relationship would save his reputation.

He didn’t expect her to rewrite his entire world.

As the charming, polished face of Northwell, Elliot Vale lives by one cardinal rule: keep things simple, keep them temporary, and never, under any circumstances, fall in love. Relationships are easy when they come with a built-in expiration date.

Then Harper Lane walks back into his life.

A thirty-day fake relationship should be seamless. Good for his image, great for business, and strictly short-term. Harper knows the drill better than anyone; she grew up in a world where appearances are everything, and love is an afterthought. Playing his devoted girlfriend for a few weeks ought to be a walk in the park.

Except thirty days isn't nearly enough time.

Between high-profile public dates, late-night secrets, and stolen moments behind closed doors, the lines between real and pretend begin to blur. Harper starts to believe there’s something genuine waiting for them when the contract ends. Elliot starts to believe it, too, and that fear drives him to make a choice he can't undo.

When Harper walks away, Elliot realizes he’s on the wrong side of an arrangement for the first time in his life. Winning her back won't take money, status, or clever negotiations.

It will take the one thing he’s never known how to give: his heart.

The Truth of Us is a contemporary billionaire fake-relationship romance featuring a self-sabotaging hero, a heroine who knows her worth, high-stakes emotional angst, found family, a hero who falls harder, and a hard-earned happily ever after.

Guaranteed HEA.
