Ava Morales is used to controlling the narrative.
At twenty-four, she’s built a bold, unapologetic career as a rising content creator, with a camera-ready face and a guarded heart. But when a scandal threatens to destroy her brand and her freedom, a lifeline appears in the form of a man she has no business trusting.
Maverick Ryder is Manhattan’s most infuriating billionaire.
Owner of luxury hotels, fashion empires, and the exclusive elite events that set social media ablaze, Maverick needs one thing to seal his next deal—an engagement. But not just any engagement… something believable. Scandal-proof. Strategic.
Enter Ava.
The fake fiancée. The contract with a live-in clause. One year under one roof. No feelings, no real intimacy, and definitely no falling in love.
But rules break. Lines blur.
And when the cameras are off, the real game begins.
Because Maverick plays dirty.
And Ava?
She’s done pretending she doesn’t want to lose control.
