Publisher Description
An ambitious ex-motorcyclist and heir to billions fakes an engagement to claim his inheritance. But with a single kiss, everything changes.
Alex Jenkins has a reputation: he's Atlanta's most eligible bachelor, a former competitive motorcycle racer, and a man who isn't afraid of a bit of a challenge. But when the off-limits marketing intern Evie Cooper catches his attention, self-control has a whole new meaning.
Then Evie is drawn into an engagement-for-show with Alex so that he can secure his place as the company’s successor. His reputation as a bad boy is not exactly on brand and a serious commitment could prove to his family that he is mature enough to take over.
As Evie becomes immersed in the Jerkins clan, her humble origins come into stark contrast with the snobbery of the billionaire lifestyle. Awash in new-found lust and overwhelmed by a world of luxury, Evie struggles to decipher what is a ruse and what is real.
Can Alex exchange his love of the chase for real love? Can Evie’s spunk and personality win over Alex’s family? Can their raw passion transform their fauxmance into a meaningful relationship?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Love transcends class difference in this saucy fake relationship romance from Lush (the Burning Secrets series). Genevieve "Evie" Cooper is struggling to raise her younger sister after their parents' deaths, leading her to accept an outrageous offer: she agrees to fake-date her former boss in exchange for $100,000. Millionaire Alex Jenkins was born in a world of privilege, but his playboy reputation makes his grandmother hesitant to hand over the reins of the family business. To prove her wrong, and to prevent his smarmy cousin from landing the CEO position, Alex recruits Evie to act as his fiancé. As their fake romance turns real, Evie worries the differences in their social statuses and wealth will put his family off of her, while Alex worries that she'll never be able to overlook his checkered past. Lush sets up some intense family conflict for Alex that never quite pays off, but the relationship itself provides plenty of drama to keep the pages turning. This slow-burn romance is a welcome blend of sweet and spicy.
