Strictly Business

Nicholas Blackwood

As CEO of Blackwood Hotels, control isn't just a preference, it's a necessity.

I don't do distractions, and I certainly don't do relationships.

But when a business deal requires me to appear engaged, there's only one person I trust to help me pull it off: my assistant, Amara Winslow.

She's sharp, professional, and completely off-limits.

This arrangement was supposed to be simple, temporary. But the more I'm around her, the harder it is to keep things strictly business.

Every moment with her blurs the line between what's real and what's pretend, and I'm not sure how much longer I can resist.

Being Nicholas Blackwood's assistant means knowing his every move before he makes it.

But when he asks me to be his fake fiancée, everything changes.

Suddenly, I'm wearing his ring, attending his events, and sharing his space.

What starts as a simple arrangement soon spirals into something far more complicated, and the lines between professional and personal blur in ways I never expected.

Falling for my boss was never part of the deal, but now I'm not sure I can stop.
