The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée by ROSE F. ELLINGTON

**He needs a fiancée. She needs a way out. Neither expected to fall in love.** Ava Bennett has one month to save her struggling bakery before she loses everything. The last thing she needs is to become the fake fiancée of a billionaire. Weston Cole has a reputation to protect, a board to impress, and a family legacy hanging over his head. When a photograph of him with a mysterious woman sends the internet into a frenzy, he sees the perfect solution: turn a one-night mistake into a six-month engagement. His unexpected choice? Ava. The arrangement is simple. Six months. Public appearances. Staged affection. Separate lives behind closed doors. And one very important rule: **don't fall in love.** Ava agrees because Weston's money could save the bakery she has fought to keep alive. Weston agrees because having a fiancée could silence the rumors, satisfy his board, and give him control of the story surrounding his personal life. But living together changes everything. The cold billionaire who seems to trust no one begins to reveal the wounded man hiding beneath his perfect exterior. And the woman who entered his life as a business arrangement becomes the one person he can't stop thinking about. Their kisses are supposed to be for the cameras. Their touches are supposed to be part of the performance. Their chemistry is supposed to be nothing more than an illusion. Until it stops feeling fake. Now every stolen glance, every forbidden touch, and every moment alone threatens the rules they've sworn to follow. Because pretending to be engaged was easy. **Falling in love was never part of the deal.**
