He'll protect his best friend's baby sister from anything...other than himself.

Rhyland Coltridge is a hedonistic playboy, but he isn't stupid. He knows Dylan Casablancas is a forbidden fruit. She's his best friend's baby sister, a single mom, and a royal pain in his ass. All three make her entirely off-limits, which is just as well, as he doesn't do relationships.

Unfortunately for him, she's moving into the apartment downstairs, and Rhyland's potential business partner mistakes them for a couple. Rhyland needs to look like husband material to land this deal. Dylan needs a fake fiancé to get her clingy ex off her back. The solution? Fake it till they make it.

On paper, pretending to be engaged would help them kill two birds with one stone. But in practice? When shared apartments turn into steamy late nights and pretend kisses blur into something real, Rhyland wonders if the sassy single mother just might be the death of him.

The deal says their fake engagement ends as soon as Rhyland's contract is signed, but Rhyland took a bite of the forbidden fruit, and guess what? He isn't about to leave any crumbs for another man behind...

What happens when fake turns dangerously real--and the line between forbidden and forever disappears? Perfect for fans of Ana Huang and Elsie Silver, this swoony, sizzling standalone from New York Times bestseller L.J. Shen serves steam, sass, and so many feels.

Tropes to love:

• Fake engagement
• Best friend's little sister
• Single mom heroine
• Reformed playboy hero
• Found family
• Forced proximity
• Tons of banter
• "It was just supposed to be pretend..."
