Nobody Falls for It

She counts everything. He's the one number that won't come out even.

Maya Reyes has held her department together for seven months with no manager above her, just her and two staff who'd follow her anywhere. Then Nathaniel Cross, the billionaire's son, walks in to evaluate it, and tells her and her team nothing's decided.

He's lying - and she finds out the hard way, overhearing the call that proves it. One misread moment later, the whole building thinks they're a couple. Denying it is more dangerous than letting it stand, so they strike a deal instead: her silence for his leverage, a fake relationship with three simple rules.

Rule one: he doesn't lie to her. Rule two: no touching unless someone's watching. Rule three - nobody falls for it.

They're about to break every single one.

Because the closer the lie gets to the truth, the harder it is to tell which one they're actually living - until the secret he's been protecting comes due in front of a room full of lawyers, and Maya has to ask the question she's spent her life too careful to ask out loud: was any of it real, or was she just the best-managed mark he ever ran?

A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating romance about two guarded people who survive by keeping control - and the one person worth losing it for. Closed-door, novella-length, guaranteed HEA.
