Piper Miller thinks the debts her boyfriend left in her name are the hardest thing she'll ever face. She's wrong. The job she never should have accepted is worse: moving in with Sebastián Rivas, a single father and underground fighter, to pose as his devoted fiancée for a suspicious caseworker.
It should be simple. Sebastián Rivas is exactly the kind of man Piper knows to stay away from. He's rough around the edges, used to solving problems with his fists, and still unable to forget the wife he lost far too soon.
Piper has to remember their engagement isn't real, she's only a temporary part of his life, and one day this arrangement will end. But the harder she tries to protect her heart, the clearer it becomes that walking away from Sebastián Rivas will be far more difficult than saying yes ever was.
And when pretending starts to feel dangerously close to the truth, Piper will have to decide whether she's willing to risk her heart on a man who can give her everything except the one thing she wants most: his love.
Tropes: Single dad, Forced proximity, Protective alpha hero, Fake engagement, Grumpy hero, Slow-burn emotional romance
Genre: Romance
