The Price of Pretending: A Fake Engagement Romance

About The Price of Pretending: A Fake Engagement Romance

Ashton Nightshade is one bad day away from losing everything. When her architectural career is sabotaged by the very people she trusted, her only hope lies in a man who views the world through a cold, calculated lens. Luca Moreau is Manhattan’s most ruthless billionaire, a man who builds empires but destroys rivals without a second thought.

He needs a fiancée to secure a legacy-defining merger, and Ashton needs a miracle. The deal is simple: six months of public devotion, a diamond the size of a postage stamp, and an iron-clad contract that forbids catching feelings. But as the lines between the boardroom and the bedroom begin to blur, the performance becomes dangerously real.

In the high-stakes world of New York’s elite, every touch is a gamble and every kiss is a confession. When the cameras stop flashing and the secrets of the Moreau legacy begin to surface, Ashton must decide if she’s willing to pay the ultimate price for a love that was never supposed to exist.
