Publisher's summary

Our contract was simple: a fake marriage, a job offer, protection from her ex. No emotions. No strings. And absolutely no crossing the line. But with Eden Siu, my sister’s irresistible best friend, nothing stays simple for long.

Eden is off-limits in every possible way—fifteen years too young, ambitious, and fiery as a dragon’s breath. She’s spent eight years silently wanting me, yet I’m the last man who should touch her. She deserves everything—love, desire, a life free from the wreckage of my past. But the moment she becomes my wife, even in name only, the pull between us becomes impossible to ignore.

Her ex-fiancé is circling back, determined to reclaim her. But I won’t let that happen. I’m supposed to protect her, not want her for myself. Yet every look, every touch, tempts me to cross that line and break every rule we’ve set.

This contract was meant to protect us, but now it’s a live fuse—igniting a fire that's tearing through every wall we’ve built.

The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember where our agreement ends and my feelings begin. Can she forgive the past and resist the persistent ex trying to win her back? Can I heal my wounds before I push her away for good? Or will the line between fake and real explode, leaving us tangled in something far more uncontrollable than either of us ever imagined?

This is no longer just about protection—it’s about an all-consuming passion, and I’m ready to tear the rules apart and rewrite them in flames.

When Rules and Reality Collide

I devoured this sizzling romance in one sitting! The older-brother's-best-friend trope usually makes me roll my eyes, but this one hit differently. As someone who recently ended an engagement myself, I totally get the appeal of a marriage of convenience – especially when you're trying to dodge an ex who can't take no for an answer.

The tension between these two had me clutching my kindle at 2 AM. Those stolen glances and accidental touches? Pure torture! While my own love life isn't quite this dramatic, I could feel every conflicted emotion and forbidden desire jumping off the pages. This deliciously messy situation reminded me why I'm such a sucker for slow-burn romance.

When a Deal Gets Complicated

This steamy romance unfolds between a billionaire and his sister’s best friend, Eden Siu, who agree to a fake marriage as a practical arrangement to solve their individual challenges. Their deal is supposed to be all business—no emotions, no strings attached, and definitely no blurring boundaries. But as they navigate the charade, sparks fly, and their connection grows impossible to ignore. The chemistry between the two, combined with the tension of a forbidden love, adds a layer of complexity that makes this story both intense and enticing.

Fast-paced, page turner!

This was a great, quick romance book. I really enjoyed the format, with chapters switching back and forth between the malr and female lead characters. The use of 2 narrators to read the male and female chapters was well done.

Strong characters you root for

Eden is such a strong character—ambitious, fiery, and clearly trying to navigate her life on her own terms. And the brooding, protective male lead? He’s impossible not to root for, especially as he struggles with his past and the forbidden attraction he feels. The protective edge he has towards her ex just adds to the intensity and makes their bond even more compelling.

An Addictive Romance with Just the Right Mix!

The author does a great job with character development; both leads feel real, with vulnerabilities and quirks that make them relatable despite the over-the-top scenario. There’s enough drama and tension to keep you turning the pages, but it’s balanced perfectly with humor and tender moments that make the story so satisfying. Overall, this is a delightful, swoon-worthy read for anyone looking to escape into a romance that’s both steamy and sweet. Highly recommend for fans of billionaire romances!

Loved the slow-burn romance and characters

The fake marriage trope is always a fun one but this book took it to the next level. The chemistry between the characters was off the charts, and I loved the slow-burn romance.

I wasn’t expecting to get so hooked on this one but it was great! The fake marriage setup had me intrigued, but it’s the characters that really kept me listening.
