My father's business partner will do anything for
the empire they built together...Even marry me.
Declan Hardy, All-American heartthrob and retired
NFL billionaire, is my complete opposite.
He's commanding where I'm cooperative.
Spontaneous while I am deliberate.
Loud when I stay quiet.
The only thing we have in common is that both our
names are on my father's will.
He'll inherit the fitness and hospitality empire and
I'll keep the one thing I hold dear.
As long as I marry him—with conditions.
One year of a fake marriage.
One year of living together.
One year of pretending I belong in his luxury
lifestyle.
But stipulations are never that simple.
Especially when I can't tell if his kisses are fake
or if I'm pretending when I kiss him back.
And as more conditions arise, it's clear there's a
fine line between commitment and betrayal... and neither of us knows where that
line falls.
I HATE Everly’s father. He is the biggest asshole in
this whole book. Besides that, I really enjoyed reading this book. I was
rooting for Everly to get her HEA. Sometimes with Declan, sometimes with
someone who deserved her better. Declan is an asshat at times, and he needed to
do more groveling than he does but I still enjoyed it. I can’t wait to read the
next book with Everly’s stepsister that I liked. I am curious to see how
everything plays out.
