fake

Fake a relationship with a man I call the Prince of Darkness? Who would be that desperate?

I imagine it like a fairy tale. After a lifetime of never having enough, my career is about to hit dream-come-true status. Not only am I working with the hottest architect in the country, but we’re designing a home for none other than Nathan West—the wealthy philanthropist everyone knows and loves to drool over.

And. Then. We. Meet.

Real life Nathan is the opposite of everything I thought I knew about the guy.

The last-minute peptalk I give myself before our first meeting? He catches the live show. And judges me. Harshly. Strike one. Then, he dismisses BOTH my attempts to start fresh. Strikes two and three.

My best friend is right. Nathan West has officially entered his villain era.

He glares when I grin. Sneers when I smile. Scoffs when I stare. No matter what I do to make a good impression, the man is dead set on hating me.

And the feeling is mutual.

So how did an accidental text with a bit too much drunk energy lead to a six-month agreement to pretend to be his girlfriend?

And why are these fake feelings starting to feel real?

Dear God,

I’m in over my head. Please send help.

Yours truly,

Mina Blake
