Lies, Lines, and Luxury

A Fake Engagement. A Hidden Agenda. A Contract That Changes Everything. Eleanor Sterling is a master of control. As Vanguard’s ruthless PR Director, she manages billionaires, boardrooms, and scandals without breaking a sweat. But one wrong step into a darkened executive suite leaves her trapped in the arms of Julian Hayes—the city's most notorious playboy—just as the paparazzi flashbulbs fire. To stabilize plummeting stocks and protect her own underground financial empire, Eleanor drafts an ironclad contract: a fake marriage, separate lives, and strict boundaries. Julian signs it without a second thought. He needs the marriage just as much as she does. His arrogant billionaire persona is a flawless disguise for his real objective—a deep-cover federal agent hunting a corporate syndicate inside her father’s company. Eleanor’s pristine reputation is the ultimate shield for his investigation. It was supposed to be a simple business transaction to fool the press. But as corporate espionage closes in and the undeniable, scorching heat between them ignites, the real danger isn't the public fallout or the boardroom traitors. It is the breathless, terrifying moment they both forget they are only pretending.
