I entered into a fake marriage with my brother's best friend.

Just as I was expecting a well-deserved promotion, I found myself expelled for a theft I never committed.

Working now for William, my brother's best friend, and CEO of his family's company, was unexpected, especially since I never got along with him.

But today I'm his assistant.

When his grandfather demanded he marry or lose his position, I agreed to play his wife.

With a divorce planned, he promised in return to identify the thief and help me regain my former job.

But as we play this dangerous game, I discover he's not just as arrogant as I thought he was; there's a vulnerability in him that I can't ignore.

He's apparently not insensitive to my charms, either.

But just as our hearts slowly come together, our deception is discovered.

If this gets out, he'll have to say goodbye to his career, and I will have to let go of any hope of getting my old job back.

I exposed his secrets…

Now I'm stuck solving a mystery with the guy who hates me for it.

Ian Carter. The town's golden boy. My best friend's cocky brother.

The hockey star who never forgave me for writing the article that put Cloverhill on the map… and ruined his privacy.

Now, one of his fans is missing, and I've promised her friend I'll find out what happened.

The catch? I have to work side-by-side with Ian, whose cold exterior hides a vulnerability I never expected.

Every moment with him reveals a new layer, making it harder to keep my distance.

I came here to find answers, but now I'm discovering parts of myself I never knew existed.

As Ian and I navigate the treacherous landscape of our past and the mystery of the missing fan, we must confront the undeniable attraction between us—could it be that weve been wrong about each other all along?
