♥A HOT, DARK ROMANCE FROM THE TIKTOK SENSATION - SHAIN ROSE IS YOUR NEW OBSESSION♥Dimitri Hardy and I were never really supposed to be friends.He was a risky, over-the-top investor. I was trying to avoid the glamorous lifestyle my parents had raised me in.He was fun and laid back. I was wound tight and dramatic.He had his life put together. I did not.So having Dimitri witness my breakup was a low moment. Especially since my boyfriend was also my professor, and after cheating on me, he decided to make me redo my master's thesis.But Dimitri saw an opportunity. He offered to assist with my thesis. In exchange, I would help him gain the trust of the upscale town where I'd grown up-one he'd just heavily invested in.His proposal: Move back home and fake a relationship with him for the summer.Show my town he's trustworthy.Adore one another in public and pretend there's no desire brewing in private. It seems like an easy plan.But what Dimitri doesn't understand is that a few months in my hometown can ruin you . . . and one summer of denying my desire of his stolen touches and longing stares just might ruin me too.

He's become a cold, ruthless billionaire, and he wants revenge.When he finds out I'm engaged, he offers me a deal.Leave the man I'm with and be with him instead. Or else.Six months of calling Dex my finace... even as he stares at me with hardened eyes.Six months of ignoring his electrifying touches and pretending I don't love him... when I still do.The problem with faking this engagement is I'm starting to believe in forever. And neither of us can afford to.
