Description

"Dominic Hardy was a taker, vicious in his pursuit of conquering the world, and I wanted him to conquer me now . . ."

A HOT, DARK ROMANCE FROM THE TIKTOK SENSATION - SHAIN ROSE IS YOUR NEW OBSESSION

Fake dating my enemy should be easy . . . as long as I don't fall in love with him.

Dominic Hardy might have a fancy engineering degree, but he doesn't know a thing about baking. He doesn't even like sugar.

So when he inherits my stepfather's resort - with my bakery in the middle of it - neither of us are happy.

But then Dominic gives me a proposal I can't refuse. I'll keep my bakery, with one condition:

Fake date him for five months.

Keep his ex away by pretending we're in love.

Stare into his piercing green eyes.

Maybe share a kiss.

But I loathe him and his filthy mouth.

Even when he's using it on me.

There's a fine line between love and loathing, and I think I've made the mistake of blurring it.
