Winona Crane is forty-three days behind on rent, her flower shop is barely breathing, and the only thing standing between her and bankruptcy is a contract to spend one month pretending to be a billionaire's girlfriend. She signs her name in careful cursive, looks up across the desk — and the air goes out of her, because the stranger she agreed to fake-date is Milo Loring, the man who broke her heart five years ago, and he doesn't recognize her at all. Now she's trapped inside a lie that was already in motion before she ever picked up the pen, playing the perfect girlfriend to a man who once walked away from her without a word, while a dangerous rival circles them both with threats she can't afford to ignore. The chemistry between them is real in all the worst ways, his past keeps pressing against the edges of her carefully held secrets, and somewhere beneath the performance, she can feel the ground shifting under everything she thought she understood about why she's really here. How long can you pretend not to know someone — when every moment with him makes you remember exactly why you never stopped?
