Making It While Faking It

Description

I never thought I’d marry someone to save my business—let alone my ex’s older brother. After a public meltdown on a film set in Iceland, I’m broke, humiliated, and hanging on by a thread trying to keep my restaurant afloat. Then my father shows up with a deal I can’t afford to refuse: marry into the Lord family to satisfy an old-money contract between our feuding families, and in return, I get my trust fund back—and a second chance. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Because Achilles is the only available Lord brother I can tolerate. He’s a brooding, emotionally frostbitten billionaire who treats me like a PR liability. We’re total opposites. I’m all fire, flair, and spontaneous Instagram Lives. He’s spreadsheets, silence, and barely disguised side-eye. Now we’re living together in his gleaming Manhattan penthouse, playing the part of a picture-perfect couple for the media. The forced proximity is maddening—and not just because he’s infuriatingly precise. Because underneath those scowls and cold shoulders, there’s a man who keeps showing up for me when no one else does. This was supposed to be a simple contract. No strings. No feelings. But the longer we fake our way through this engagement, the more I wonder: are we destined to attract, repel… or completely combust? A Fake Love Deal is a steamy billionaire romance with family saga tension, starring a heroine determined to play by her own rules.
