LAWSON For years I’ve prided myself on my unwavering self control. Secure in my ability to keep my thoughts and focus where they were supposed to be— not on my best friend’s little sister. But everything changes when I let my demons out to play in order to keep her safe. Now with the news of my actions spreading like wildfire, I stand to lose everything I’ve worked for. Until a promise is made and a deal is struck. Finally, something I’ve always wanted but never thought I was worthy enough to have is within reach. She’s mine. Even if it’s supposed to be fake. SYDNEY I’ve always been helpless when it comes to love—my head and heart constantly floating in the clouds. My entire life I’ve been determined to one day get my own happily ever after. Only for one night, one decision, and one moment to change everything. When the one man I shouldn’t want risks everything to save me, I promise I’ll do anything to help him survive the backlash. He’s been saving me all my life. Now it’s my turn to save him. Even if it means putting my already hopeless heart on the line.
