Second Chance Ex

A Grumpy Boss Fake Engagement Romance

I fake an engagement with my grumpy billionaire boss…
who also happens to be my ex.

Marcus Hale was supposed to stay in my past.
But on day one of my dream job, I spill coffee on his thousand-dollar suit—only to discover he’s my new boss.

Worse? We get stuck in a private elevator. Alone. With nothing but tension and five years of unfinished business.

When a PR scandal erupts, his team decides a fake engagement will save his reputation—making me the one wearing his ring.

Now we’re sharing a suite. Smiling for cameras. Pretending to be in love.
Except every time he touches me, my body remembers exactly how real it was.

He’s still impossible. Still closed-off.
But he makes me tea when I’m anxious. Defends me against his father.
And looks at me like I’m the only thing that’s ever made sense.

I swore I’d never fall for him again.
But when a blackmailer threatens to expose a twisted video from my past, one lie could destroy his empire, shatter my career, and tear us apart forever.
