My best friend would kill me if she knew I was waking up in Vegas next to her Dad.

With a crumpled up marriage certificate in one hand.

And a wedding ring on the other.

Lawson Sterling. Billionaire, powerful, hunky. And off-limits.

Imagine how strange it was for me, who once knew this man as Mr. Sterling from next door, to working for this D.I.L.F. designing his new casino.

When we share the presidential suite together on a work trip to Rome, I stupidly let down my guard for a millisecond.

It felt so wrong to give into this silver fox’s irresistible charm. But those eyes!

I should have known that crossing a line with him would jeopardize our friendship. And don’t even get me started on my professional reputation.

But the pull was too strong. The way he made me feel safe in his muscular, protective arms was everything.

We swore we would never, ever let it happen again.

After missing the window for an annulment, Lawson offered me a crazy amount of money to stay on as his wife to avoid any divorce scandal.

I’m torn. Do I stay in a pretend marriage with a man I secretly love and ruin my friendship with someone who is like a sister to me?

And just when I thought I had made up my mind, I felt a kick in my belly.

And I learn that Lawson Jr. is on the way.
