I never expected to inherit a sprawling estate in a small town I’d never even heard of. To claim it, I have to outmaneuver my scheming cousin and fulfill one impossible condition: Find a groom.

If forced to choose, we could lose it all.

Now… my boss is offering me the promotion of a lifetime, but it comes with strings… Fake date Briggs Conley!

He goes out of his way to ignore me. Know what makes it worse?

As a single father, I often feel like the weight of the world sits on my shoulders. When my daughter’s nanny gives me her two weeks’ notice, I’m sweating bullets.

She needs a change of scenery to help her write, and I just need someone who isn’t a complete weirdo to watch my kid when I’m not around.

The first time I met good girl Maggie Sullivan, she was my brother’s guest at Sunday dinner. That should have been enough to keep me away. It wasn’t. The night I lost my tightly held control—she kissed me back and it was everything I could have ever imagined. Until our lives changed forever as my family went down in flames. I left and never planned to come back to our small town. Now, years later, everyone knows my songs. The ones I wrote about her. The scars that never healed, bleeding out on stage. Fame and its late nights get tiring, so I’ve returned to Little Falls to right my wrongs.

And that's exactly what he's doing every time our paths cross.

Slade Cruz is the devil. He’s intimidating, sexy as sin, and unpredictably wild. His eyes draw me in while his vicious smirk screams at me to run and never look back. I’m a toy to him, a pawn to use in his devilish games.

The moment I met Aston Cage, I knew my life had changed. A single dance later, we’re both all in. Until he ghosted me. Then my boss fires me for dancing with the enemy. Three months later, working for the Cages is my last resort. Now I’ll work beside him day by day, trying not to let my feelings take control. It’s heaven and hell. Except I’m starting to think there’s a part of this story I’m missing.

I told her my secrets and she told me gilded lies. The words that dripped from her lips like honey were nothing but empty promises. Her betrayal blindsided me. Posie had been my constant. My anchor.
