When the guy I'm fake engaged to suggests we get married in Hawaii, I'm all in. And then I meet his family.

His sweet and bubbly sister is the one saving grace in this family.

By-the-book secret agent Lucas Bendtsen will do anything to keep his country safe - even if that means blackmailing the stepdaughter of a notorious mobster who is about to sell guns to a group of terrorists.

Despite her reputation as a heartless femme fatale, Ruby Macintosh is not at all what she seems.

Love had cut me in so many ways I wondered if my heart could take any more. But then I saw him. He was my boss. A single father. And to top it off he was insolent.

I’m not sure it can handle heartbreak again.

Luke hired me as his publicist so his pro football team owner will see that he's indispensable to the organization. When a defamatory headline hits newsstands, it's up to me to show the world what a Prince Charming he truly is. My solution? A marriage of convenience. It'll get his boss off his back and quiet the slanderous voices. Luke is adamant that this is nothing more than a business transaction, but I still feel the heat from the single night we spent together when we were strangers. Now, I just have to figure out how not to fall in love with my fiancé.

So how did I get myself into this situation, you ask? Simple: desperation. When you're faced with being homeless and hungry or taking off your clothes for money, the choice is easier than you'd imagine. That doesn't make it simple, though. Oh no. I hate it, in fact. There's nothing I'd like more than to quit and never go into another bar again, never hear the techno beat pulsing in my ears again, never feel the lecherous gazes of horny men again. Then, one day, I meet a man. He's in my club, front and center. He watches me do my routine, and his gaze is full of hunger.

But I've got a little secret of my own, and I have no idea what it means for our end game.
