Perfect for you if...

You enjoy banter-heavy romance where the tension comes from witty dialogue as much as attraction.
You love the grumpy-sunshine dynamic and want a boss-secretary story that leans into forced proximity.
You appreciate plus-sized heroines and wholesome, closed-door romance that focuses on emotional connection.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer steam and explicit content in your romance novels.
You want a darker, morally grey billionaire character rather than someone who's ultimately kind beneath the gruff exterior.
You're not keen on fake relationship plots or workplace romance scenarios.

About this book

The narrator works as secretary to Dawson Houser, a brooding CEO known for his gruff demeanor and tendency to emphasize her subordinate role. When Dawson's mother arrives at the office intent on seeing her son married so he can take over the family business, Dawson unexpectedly announces that he and his secretary are engaged. To navigate this fake engagement and prove herself more than just an employee, the narrator must play the role of the perfect fiancée. As they spend time together, the boundary between their pretend relationship and genuine feelings begins to blur. This workplace romance features a grumpy-sunshine dynamic with banter, forced proximity, and explores whether a fake relationship can develop into something real.
