The Billionaire's Borrowed Bride-to-Be
A Chicago billionaire fakes an engagement to save a deal,
With his high-school best friend as the “fiancée.”
Sure, this wedding is pretend, but their feelings won’t be…
Ben Lawlor doesn’t do mistakes. That is, until a high-stakes deal in Texas corners him into one. To win over a conservative landowner, the Chicago renewable-energy billionaire blurts out that he’s engaged… and flashes the only woman in his phone: his high-school best friend, Freya Hull.
Freya is a talented graphic designer and painter who’s spent years pretending she never fell for Ben. She’s not dazzled by his fortune or his icy reputation; she’s the one person who still sees the overachieving nerd beneath the tailored suits. So when Ben calls in a panic, asking her to play fiancée for one dinner, she agrees… mostly to enjoy watching him squirm.
But one dinner turns into a full-blown engagement, a very public wedding countdown, and a whirlwind of staged photo shoots, cake tastings, and pretend vows. As the line between performance and reality blurs, Freya starts to want the fairy tale she’s faking, and Ben discovers that the feelings he’s spent a lifetime avoiding might be the only thing that’s ever been real.
With the spotlight closing in and their “no catching feelings” rule cracking by the day, Ben and Freya must decide: keep up the perfect lie for everyone else… or risk everything for the love they’ve been denying since high school…
