A Fake Love Deal - The Lord Brothers of Manhattan, #2 - E-book - ePub

Sure, he's a billionaire. Sure, he's tall, dark, and handsome to the extreme. But he's more so crabby, frigid, and a regular storm cloud. And yes, she's marrying him for the money.  Treasure Grove has found herself in a dire situation. With her failing restaurant draining her dry, she reluctantly agrees to her father's outrageous proposal: a short-term fake marriage to one of the Lord brothers from a rival family.
The arrangement comes with no wedding, a brief engagement, and the promise of financial stability to get her life back on track. However, there's one significant problem-Treasure despises the Lord brothers, except for Hercules, who is already engaged to her cousin. Caught between two of the city's most eligible bachelors, she must choose between her ex-lover, Orion Lord, whom she wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole, and his controlling and prickly older brother, Achilles. Since desperation drives everyone involved, Achilles says yes to the faux marriage arrangement, and for the next five years, Achilles and Treasure will be husband and wife - at least on paper. But Achilles proves to be more austere and hotter than Treasure remembers.
With a growl that rivals the big bad wolf, he reluctantly welcomes her into his life. Despite their contrasting personalities, the more time they spend together, the more Achilles reveals a surprising side-beneath his tough exterior lives a man with a hidden heart made of gold. Will these two faux lovebirds yield to their irresistible attraction, or will their differences drive them apart? After all, he's a Lord, and she's a Grove, signifying that their marriage remains a pact founded on uncertain grounds.
With two families incessantly striving to outdo each other, nothing is ever truly set in stone. Perfect for fans of irresistible chemistry, witty banter, and captivating enemies-to-lovers stories, "A Fake Love Deal" guarantees an entertaining page-turner that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. This is a STANDALONE novel ending HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
