Hot Shot

He told his grandmother they were dating. Now he just has to convince the woman he barely knows to play along.

Drew Auprince has a plan: to crash through the ceiling of his family’s empire to become the top hotelier on the West Coast. He’s highly focused, but when he spots the sultry, enigmatic beauty he thought was “the one” in his lobby, he’s thrown off his game. So much so that he blurts out to his meddlesome, matchmaking grandmother that Alejandra is his date for her highly anticipated, over-the-top eightieth birthday party. Now it’s game on.


Alejandra Cruz is trying to keep a promise and a secret. But pretending to be Drew’s girlfriend? That’s not part of the plan—especially when the chemistry between them is all too real. Drew’s charming, magnetic... and completely off-limits.

As the lines between fake and real blur, Alejandra has to decide: can she keep her heart guarded, or is this hotshot hotelier the one fate always had in store?


A sparkling fake dating romance filled with heart, heat, and a meddling family determined to make love happen.
