She needed to escape her ex. So she borrowed her best friend’s ex.
And suddenly, fake dating felt a little too real.Isla Monroe’s life is perfectly on track—until her emotionally manipulative ex shows up as her new boss and invites her to a mandatory company retreat. Desperate to save face, Isla lies and says she’s in a serious relationship. Problem? She isn’t.
Solution? River Blake. Photographer. Stoic charmer. And her best friend’s very off-limits ex.
Pretending to be a couple for one weekend should be easy... if it weren’t for:
- One bed in a remote cabin
A shared past no one dares talk about
And chemistry that crackles louder than the bonfire they’re supposed to be networking around
As the retreat unfolds and old feelings resurface, Isla starts to wonder:
Is this just an act—or is River the one love she was never supposed to have?
Because in the Heart for Hire series, every fake love hides a truth waiting to be claimed.
He’s not hers to want… but what if he’s meant to be?
