Publisher's Synopsis
How far will a romance-wary thriller writer go in order to save her career? Simple: she finds herself in a fake marriage with a playboy billionaire.
Olivia Harris, master of penning thrillers that could scare the socks off a hardened criminal, is facing the literary equivalent of a horror show. Her agent drops the bomb: publishers want romance, not thrillers. So, she's expected to switch from writing about cold-blooded killers to hot-blooded lovers. Just one tiny problem - Olivia wouldn't know romance if it hit her with a dozen roses. Meanwhile, billionaire tycoon and renowned playboy, Alexander Kingston, is facing his own crisis. His playboy antics have finally caught up to him, and his grandfather is done turning a blind eye. Threatening to snatch away Kingston Enterprises and his inheritance unless he ties the knot. But where on earth would he find a bride in this eleventh-hour scramble? Enter Fate, who apparently thinks it's a stand-up comedian, flinging Olivia and Alexander together again after a previous one-night-stand. Seeing an unexpected solution to his problem, Alexander takes a wild shot and pitches Olivia a proposal that is more business than bended knee. Will she dare to venture into a real-life romance with a man who's as much of a mystery as her unwritten novel? Or will the absurdity of their agreement, and their own rebelliously romantic hearts, upend their not-so-foolproof plan?
