Beschreibung

Cousin Fred leaned forward in his chair and stage-whispered, “She left the babies in the bed and ran off with a salesman.” So many questions went through my head. What could compel a woman of the 1860s to leave three young boys sleeping in their beds and flee with a stranger? Why did Fred have nothing to say about her husband, my great-grandfather? Where did she go and how did it work out for her?

The reason for Lydia’s shocking decision was lost to history for over 100 years—until I stumbled across her yellowed and tattered journals in my great-uncle’s trunk. Now the truth can be told.

    As luck would have it, the worst job I've ever had is also the reason I'm in the right place at the right time to run into billionaire venture capitalist, Carson Myles. He takes one look at me and offers me a bunch of cash to be his fake girlfriend at an important business event that could make or break his career. No problem. This man is so hot that I'm willing to be his fake anything. The plan is simple—for one night, I stand by his side, smile, and project the vision of a doting long-term girlfriend so his bosses see him as a dependable man they're willing to take a bet on. It all seems easy enough. 
     
     
     
    Until his bosses ask me a direct question and my wild imagination kicks in. I not only put on a fake accent, but I also spin a web of lies about my imaginary travels around the world with my fake jet-setting parents. Now, somehow I've gotten us invited to the Swiss Alps to ski with some of the wealthiest people in the investment world. But there's a catch—I've never skied before, and I have to keep up the pretense I've created, including the accent, while also pretending to be head-over-heels in love with Carson. I find myself falling for Carson for real. But I struggle to trust his feelings are genuine. Is he falling for me, or is he falling for the fake version of me I created to impress his bosses?
