We went to a hotel on the Sunset Strip where he made me see stars. The next morning I left before he woke up. I’m not the type of girl who has a one night stand. A week later, I got a call from my agency about a new nanny position. When I got to the interview, I met the man who hired me for the new job. It was him, the guy who made me feel like a goddess.

I swore I would never fall for a lawyer. But those steel blue eyes, and greek god physique, has my heart second guessing. . Hired to decorate, I thought my job would be simple. Being required to work together could cause that to change. This silver fox that spilled my beloved morning elixir. And of course he is a lawyer.

Or at least, I thought it was… On the dance floor I find myself pressed up against him. A rough uniform against my body, but a gentle hand on my face. He was supposed to be a distraction… But his eyes say something different. They look hungry for more than I’d agreed to give. And there're so many quiet corners we could just slip away into… I never thought we could turn something fake into something real. If only he would stop telling me it’s all pretend. I’d like to pop off all the buttons on his uniform..

I’ve been feeling my dad’s best friend’s eyes undressing me… …and I’ve been liking it.

Dad says he used to be in a gang - USED to - and he’s not like that anymore… … but I’ve heard the gangs around here don’t like it when members leave. Would it really be so bad if I let him claim me the way we both want him to?

But just when things couldn't get more complicated, imagine my surprise when I find out the real reason he asked me...

Never fall for your grumpy billionaire boss, especially when you’re in a fake marriage with him. I can't stand Alex Merrieli. The way he struts into the office in his Armani suits like he’s God’s gift to women. I have to work for him every day. If only I could stop fantasizing about him at night.

I only go because it’s my job, but next thing I know I’m back at his apartment living every scorching fantasy I ever had..and more. I should have stopped there. But when Alex offers me his hand in fake marriage to secure his inheritance, I can’t refuse. This is a deal that could change my life, offering me the financial security I only dreamed of. It should’ve been easy, but things got complicated the more time we spent together. I started to see the man behind the mask and I don’t know if I am pretending any more.

Fake dating my infuriating grumpy billionaire boss is not what I signed up for. Our arguments are always heated. But not as heated as our one night stand. Big mistake. I had sworn off him after his devil touch made me sin. But with a body that sets me ablaze, he makes an irresistible offer. Play girlfriend. Now we are stuck on our way to his family's estate. I glimpse a side of Derek that he keeps hidden. The lines between charade and reality blur. But ghosts from the past haunt us. I wonder if this forbidden dance was ever real… …or whether we are on a collision course toward disaster.

The Deal is… he’s Richer, and my Husband for a Year. So, I paint full-time while the billionaire foots the bill. And he snags a mega-deal, to save his business. The catch is… we can’t stand each other. He’s a lot older, a dad, and his daughter wants to paint me out of the picture. Of course, I’ll win her over. But Stephen? Suddenly, his steely eyes and rocking-hot body fuel my fantasies. And the heat in his gaze clings to the curves of my body. I want to drop my panties and spice up his life. I thought we hated each other. I was wrong. But we’re nothing alike. Funny, that’s what I like that about him the most. Shockingly, our fake love has turned into real love. Can we both admit it…before it’s too late?

And Sheriff Waite is riding shotgun. Why? Our flights were canceled. He’s the father of the bride, and I’m the maid of honor—sorta. It’ll be a miracle if we both survive this road trip and get there in time. Stuck in a car together for hours. With a one-night stop in a run-down town. It’s a nightmare in the making. But maybe not. Those piercing blue eyes… That mischievous grin… That night and that kiss… Could things be different between us? He thinks my troublemaker image is real, but it’s not. He thinks he knows me, but he doesn’t. If only he could know the truth, we might have a chance.

I'm not one to meddle in other people's business, but when I see this damsel in distress, fleeing in her wedding dress, while on my bike, I know that my life will change forever. My offer to help is second nature as a doctor, but might be setting myself up for a temptation that will be hard to handle, and to protect her, we must stage a fake marriage. This decision might be the best I'll ever make or the most fatal. The decision to protect Rachel Rose against her violent fiance may cost me my life, but I am willing to dare the consequences. Time passes and I think I'm taking this charade a little too far. The very habit of hers that annoys me and also endears me, and her charm is everything alluring. The way she can't keep her hands in one spot and the color her personality brings to my home. This was supposed to be fake, but now I want her; to have, to hold, and to protect And this time, I want it to be real.

It was 10 past 10. The door chimes tolled to let us know that someone had arrived at Pryce Manor. The look from Professor Pryce told me I needed to answer the door. I took the 125 steps down the corridor leading to the front door. I opened the peephole to check out who had rung the bell. No one was there. I unlocked the heavy oak door and pushed it open. I stepped outside and looked around. Still no one. As I turned to go back inside, my foot hit something. I looked down. It was a package wrapped in butcher paper tied with a string. I picked it up. No address, no name, no idea. I brought it into the professor’s study and laid it before him. He carefully cut the string with one of his many cutting tools that he kept on his massive desk. As he opened the package, I gasped in horror. It was a severed human hand. Another mystery had found him and now as Sherlock Holmes would put it, “The game's afoot.” Or in this case, a hand.
