Marcus Westbrook is the last person I’d ever want by my side—let alone pretend to be in a relationship with.
He’s arrogant, ruthless, and determined to ruin me.
But when a scandal threatens to shatter everything I’ve built, I find myself making a desperate deal with the devil.
Pretend to be his girlfriend. Smile for the cameras. And try not to kill each other in the process.
It should be simple—keep my enemies close, and all that. Yet the more I’m around him, the harder it is to remember this is just a game. His touch ignites something in me, his gaze breaks down my walls, and his kisses? They make me forget why I hated him in the first place.
But this isn’t real. It can’t be. Our families have been at war for generations, and trust is a luxury neither of us can afford. I know I’m playing with fire, and if I’m not careful, I might just get burned.
But maybe—just maybe—I’m ready to let it all go up in flames.
