Amazon no.1 bestseller Meghan Quinn brings a side-splitting modern take on Pretty Woman. This savvy, sharp and steamy rom-com is not one to be missed!

How did you two meet?

The question I dread.

My not so meet cute was... unexpected. I was casually searching Beverly Hills for someone to make me their bride. That's when we bumped into each other, him mumbling about a business deal gone wrong.

There were no sparks.

But next thing I knew, I'd agreed to pretend to be his girlfriend and that we were head over heels in love, so his deal could get back on track.

My one mistake, though . . . big . . . HUGE . . .

Am I accidentally falling for Huxley Cane?
