He meant to text his assistant. The message landed with the ex he left without a goodbye. Now the heir to a billion-dollar empire needs a six-month fiancée-and she's naming her price. Graham Caldwell doesn't do feelings; he does mergers. To close the deal that will cement his legacy, he needs a spotless narrative and a ring on someone's finger. Harper Quinn, broke-but-brilliant writer and the woman he once ghosted, agrees-on her terms: her own space, ironclad NDAs, and absolute control of the story.
What starts as a contract becomes a collision of old heat and unfinished hurt as penthouse proximity, paparazzi flashbulbs, and family power games blur the line between performance and truth. When a leak brands their engagement a fraud and the internet turns vicious, Harper refuses to be handled-and Graham has to decide if love is his greatest liability or the only strategy that ever mattered. Sharp banter, public-relations minefields, and slow-burn surrender ignite a second-chance, fake-engagement romance about rewriting the text that started it all-and choosing each other when the world is watching.
