Welcome to the fake wedding of Xavier and Solitaire 🤫
Saving her family’s beloved café is Solitaire Saunders’ top priority. Even if it means walking down the aisle with a man she barely knows! Billionaire Xavier McQueen needs a wife to unlock his inheritance, and Solitaire, with her charming chaos, is surprisingly perfect for the job. It’s purely a business transaction with no emotions attached. What could go wrong?
Because all too quickly, the lines between fact and fiction begin to blur. Catching feelings was never part of the contract, but when Solitaire’s sunny disposition begins to melt Xavier’s frosty exterior, revealing a surprisingly soft side beneath the boardroom bravado, both are powerless to resist each other. And as the sparks continue to fly in their temporary marriage, will they continue to fake it until they make it, or finally admit they want more than they signed up for?
Just a handful of reasons why I should hate Cesare Salvatore, heir to the Salvatore Sicilian mafia throne. Other reasons? His insanely gorgeous face. How hot he looks in his Formula One race suit. The feral look in his eyes when he’s pounding his enemy into the ground… But as a Mancinelli, I abide by one family rule: Stay away from the Salvatores.
Betrayal. Forbidden Attraction. Vendetta Ignited.
Cesare believes there’s a traitor in his crew…put there by me. He’ll uncover the truth by any means, including blackmailing me into his bed. What he doesn’t know is I’ve crushed on him since high school; have craved his blood-stained hands on me since one mistake sparked a lust-hate relationship. Discovering he’s equally hot for me risks re-igniting a family vendetta and unearthing brutal decades old secrets many have been killed for. Can we stop before sparks turn to inferno? Because if it does? Forget Romeo & Juliet. Our forbidden attraction will destroy empires.
