Lena Glass has spent her entire life proving she deserves the empire she now runs.

As CEO of Glass International, she rebuilt the company her late husband nearly destroyed and silenced every man who believed she was only keeping the seat warm. But success has a cost. Now the press is circling, her board is losing confidence, and one powerful rival is quietly preparing to take everything she's fought to rebuild.

Nash Donovan doesn't care what people think of him.

He's built his reputation on ruthless acquisitions and hard decisions, turning failing companies into billion-dollar powerhouses. But when a damaging media campaign paints him as cold and untrustworthy, his own board begins to question whether he's still the man they need leading them.

The solution should be simple.

A relationship.

Public. Convincing. Temporary.

If Lena and Nash appear together, the headlines change. Her image softens. His reputation gains humanity. Their enemies lose the leverage they need.

It's only supposed to last six months.

But pretending to fall in love is far more dangerous than either of them expected.

And the longer they play the part, the harder it becomes to remember where the performance ends.
