Read and Swoon

He’s everything I shouldn’t want—older, grumpy, sinfully hot, and completely off-limits… my best friend’s billionaire brother.

I moved from Raleigh, NC to the nearby small town of Timberlake to reset my life—cheaper rent, a fresh job, and moral support from my best friend.

I didn’t realize accepting the perfect job meant working for the one man I was warned to stay away from—her older brother.

Cole Maddox is my grumpy billionaire boss.
Tattooed, ruthless, and infuriatingly hot for a man who’s nineteen years older.

We clash like fire and ice. But when a deal demands a picture-perfect couple, I become his fake fiancée overnight.

Suddenly, we’re carpooling and falling into routines that feel way too real.

Like the way he remembers my coffee order.
Or how his hand lingers at the small of my back when no one’s watching.

Then I kissed him… and somewhere between pretending and denying, I fell—hard.
For the single dad with scars he won’t talk about and eyes that see straight through me.

But someone’s been sending threats.
And if this is real, loving him might be the most dangerous move I’ve ever made.
