THE HOSTILE PROPOSAL

THE HOSTILE PROPOSAL A Revenge Fake Engagement Romance
I didn't walk into Callahan Tower to fall for anyone. I walked in to burn it down.
Five years ago, Gideon Callahan's company swallowed my father's business whole, smiling the entire time, and walked away with everything we had. I've spent every year since learning exactly how he thinks, exactly what he wants, and exactly where he's vulnerable. So when the opportunity comes to get inside his boardroom — and his life — I take it. All I need is proximity. A seat at his table. Enough rope.
I did not plan on him proposing marriage as a business strategy.
Gideon needs a fiancée to close the biggest deal of his career, and I am, infuriatingly, the perfect candidate — sharp, presentable, and already circling him like I have something to prove. He doesn't know what I'm circling for. He thinks he's the one running this. He is wrong.
The ring is fake. The wedding talk is fake. The way he looks at me across a table like he already owns the outcome — that is not fake, and it is not something I planned for. Gideon Callahan is possessive, exacting, and used to getting exactly what he wants the moment he decides he wants it. And somewhere between the staged photos and the real arguments and the nights neither of us can explain afterward, I stop being sure which version of this — the revenge or the man — is going to win.
He thinks he already has me figured out. He's about to find out how wrong he is. And I'm about to find out I never had this as under control as I thought.
A high-heat, fully immersive standalone Erotic Romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
