Sheldon “Snickers” Woodward III was born into one of Manhattan’s most powerful families.

He is expected to protect the Woodward publishing and greeting card empire, preserve the family name, and behave like the polished heir everyone wants him to be.

Instead, Snickers has earned a very different reputation.
By night, he is a notorious bad boy DJ with money, fame, and more female attention than any man needs. He has no interest in settling down, following orders, or becoming the respectable Woodward his family expects.

Pollyanna “Pip” Fletcher remembers another side of him.
Pip has plans of her own. She dreams of turning her passion for vintage fashion into a successful business and building a future that belongs entirely to her. Snickers and his complicated world have no place in that carefully constructed plan.

Then an unexpected reunion brings them face to face.
Their attraction is immediate. Their history makes it dangerous.

When a public relations crisis threatens the Woodward empire, Snickers needs a solution convincing enough to silence the rumors and restore confidence in his family. A fake engagement to Pip could solve everything.
It is supposed to be a simple arrangement.

They will appear together. Smile for the cameras. Convince the public they are wildly in love. Then quietly end the engagement when the crisis has passed.

Yet pretending becomes much harder when every staged touch feels real.
As Pip is drawn deeper into Snickers’s privileged world, she begins to discover the man concealed beneath his reckless reputation.

Snickers, meanwhile, realizes the woman wearing his ring may be the only person who sees him clearly.

Someone else is watching too.

And the secret surrounding them could destroy far more than their carefully planned deception.
