A short, sweet novella with a pulse of suspense.
Anna makes a living pretending—her job as a girlfriend-for-rent comes with expiration dates and no emotional strings. When Evan steps in to rescue her from a public bullying incident by posing as her husband, a favor-for-a-favor deal is struck. Anna will play his girlfriend so he can secure a long-overdue promotion.
Cold, intimidating, and painfully antisocial at work, Evan needs Anna to soften his image. Soon they’re branded the office’s Golden Couple, expected at every team event, including a camping weekend. Lines blur and danger begins when someone is watching far too closely.
I enjoyed the relationship evolvement from guarded
and transactional to hopeful and longing.
