Controlling The Spin

He needs a reputation save. She needs a financial miracle. One lie at a gala changed everything!

Beckett Vaugh is the definition of ruthless. A billionaire CEO with steel-blue eyes and an icy heart, he's spent years building an empire to protect his mother's legacy. But when a bitter rival launches a smear campaign at the annual Hope Gala Beckett's pristine reputation is seconds away from shattering.

Harper Ellison is drowning in her grandmother's medical debt. As Beckett's personal assistant, she is used to putting out fires, but when the press corners them, she blurts out the ultimate lie: "If he is so terrible, why are we engaged?"

Now, the cold calculating CEO and his witty, stubborn assistant are locked in a high-stakes fake engagement.

The rules are simple: stay close, look in love, never let the mask slip.

But between the forced proximity of a shared penthouse and the heat of staged kisses that feel all too real, the lines are blurring.

As Beckett's rival closes in with proof of their deception, the stakes become more than just professional. Harper is playing with fire, and Beckett is realizing that the one thing he can't control is his heart. When the contract ends, will they walk away, or is the spin they created their only truth?

Featuring a protective billionaire hero, forced proximity, and slow-burn romance with 4/5 heat, "Controlling The Spin" is a standalone romance perfect for fans of workplace tropes and fake dating!
