Synopsis.

Things are never as clear cut as they seem.

One minute I’m a struggling single mother being fired from my job of three years.

The next, I’m wearing a diamond that cost more than my salary, and having my back blown out on a private jet as the fiancée of my billionaire boss.

At least that’s what everyone thinks.

Only he and I know the truth.

It’s all a ruse.

Required to marry in order to seal a fifty million dollar deal for his company, billionaire bachelor Adonis Holland, offered me fifty thousand dollars to be his fake fiancée for one week.

I should’ve said no. I should’ve walked away.

Instead, I signed my name on the dotted line. Why?

Because no one says no to Adonis Holland.

Although we’re playing house under the same roof, I’m determined to keep things professional.

But as the week stretches on, his lingering touches and charming aura start to make me question everything about the contract I autographed.

I know I’d be foolish to trust him with my heart, but by the time we make it to the end of our arrangement, it may already be too late.

But everything comes with an expiration date, even love. Right?

BOOK BABE STATS

NAME: Simora “Sim” Campbell
ZODIAC SIGN: Peaceful Pisces
OCCUPATION: Recently terminated from her administrative assistant position at Holland Enterprises in New York
HER PERSONALITY: There is something very gentle about the way that she speaks and there is an abundance of beauty and patience in the way that she thinks and maneuvers through life, although things haven’t been the easiest. She naturally extends her love and light in almost everything that she does and touches, and has mastered the ability to play both angel and devil perfectly. She is understanding, loves hard, but has no problem going ghost. She’s a romantic at heart, can go from dreamy to mama bear mode if needed, and even when she cries, she somehow manages to still look beautiful.
TOXIC TRAIT: She’s a 10, but keeps her deepest, darkest secrets close to the chest.

HER PARENTING STYLE: As a single parent, her approach to motherhood stems from her large heart. She’s dedicated her entire life to raising her four-year-old son, Mason, and isn’t the type of mom who’ll give up on her child when times get tough. It will always be her and Mason against the world.
HER LOVE LANGUAGE: Words of affirmation and acts of service
WHAT SHE BRINGS TO A RELATIONSHIP: She makes a man feel like a man because of her need for a protector and leader, and her ability to be naturally charming, soft and feminine.
WHAT SHE NEEDS IN A PARTNER: A man who’s intentional and emotionally intuitive. Someone who will protect and cherish her without hesitation, and make her feel like she is needed and loved.
HER TURN ONS: Honest compliments and romantic escapades
HER TURN OFFS: Lack of empathy, ego-driven behavior, insensitivity, being rejected or overly criticized
IN THE BEDROOM: Because her emotions are deep like the ocean, sex isn’t just sex to her—it’s an emotional and physical experience that connects her mind, body, and soul. The more she knows about you, the closer and deeper the bond becomes, which greatens the passion. She’s both sexually submissive and dominant, and likes risque encounters.
