The Parisian Agreement. Signs of Love, #2

The Parisian Agreement(Signs of Love, Book Two - Taurus)Grounded, steady, and quietly magnetic, Camille Roche has always preferred the company of soil, stone, and carefully chosen perennials to flashing cameras and tabloid whispers. A celebrated landscape architect in Paris, she restores neglected courtyards and calms chaotic rooftops with hands that know how to coax beauty out of stubborn ground.
When a high-profile client hires her to redesign the family's private garden, Camille expects challenging plant lists and tight deadlines. She does not expect to be offered a role in a plan that's as carefully engineered as the terraces she designs. Enter Julien Moreau: globe-trotting actor, charismatic public figure, and the sort of man who can make a magazine cover look like a private conversation.
Once the golden child of a famously exacting family, he's now a headline-splashed across gossip sites for a reckless mistake that threatens his standing with the people he needs most. Desperate to prove he's more than the sum of his mistakes, Julien proposes an arrangement that surprises Camille in all the right ways. He needs a partner to show his family he's committed to roots, to adulthood, to steadiness.
Camille needs a paying client and the assurance that her designs won't be compromised. They agree to fake a relationship: a staged engagement of convenience that will be played out over late dinners in marble salons, whispered apologies in rain-soaked gardens, and carefully curated family weekends at a chateau outside Paris. As their artful intimacy grows-first in shared silences while planting by moonlight, then in the slow unpeeling of stubborn defenses-their public performance begins to bleed into something real.
Camille's practicality and sensual grounding teach Julien to feel without spectacle. Julien's warmth and reckless charm pull Camille into desire she didn't know she could permit. Tension simmers and then roars as obligations, old wounds, and paparazzi lenses threaten the illusion they built together. Camille must decide whether her cautious heart can risk a life upended, and Julien must learn that trust is less about grand gestures and more about the daily acts of tending and showing up.
When the family finally sees the couple Camille and Julien present, they see something truer than the performance-if Camille will let them. The Parisian Agreement is a warm, witty, and sensually charged fake dating romance that builds its heat through emotional stakes, sharp banter, and intimate, well-placed scenes. Fans of Emily Henry, Abby Jimenez, and Christina Lauren will find the same slow-burn chemistry, heartfelt humor, and satisfying emotional payoff. This novel may be read as a standalone or as part of the Signs of Love series.
