 I never imagined my father's vineyard would be the one thing standing between me and losing everything. The debts are crushing, and I'm desperate. That's when Cole Montgomery walks in—a billionaire with the power to either save or destroy me. He offers me a deal I can't refuse: pretend to be his fiancée, and he'll clear the debts.
I’m furious, but I have no choice. I can’t let go of the only thing left of my family. But as the days pass, our fake engagement begins to feel real, and so does the attraction I’ve been fighting. The man who is supposed to be my enemy becomes someone I don’t fully understand... and maybe even someone I could care for.
But when I discover the shocking truth behind my father's downfall, everything changes. Cole’s company had a hand in ruining us. He’s the reason we’re here. Betrayed, heartbroken, and trapped, I’m faced with a decision: Can I trust him to make things right—or has everything between us been a lie from the start?
Just when I think I know the truth, Cole offers me an impossible choice. Will I walk away, or risk everything to fight for a love built on lies?
