As an elite matchmaker with a type-A personality, my life is a series of perfectly executed plans, just like the fairy-tale love stories I craft for my clients. By day, it’s all about precision and success for them. But by night? I curl up in bed reading smutty, dark billionaire romance novels. It’s my little secret. My guilty pleasure adds a spark of mystery and romance to my otherwise orderly life. I know the stories aren't real. I know these things don't happen in real life. But oh, how I crave that kind of adventure.

Then the unexpected happened—I met Will Huntley. I was expecting the usual matchmaking request over coffee, but Will, the charming billionaire playboy, had a different plan. He didn’t want a date; he wanted a wife. Specifically, he wanted me to pretend to be his wife for a week. Leave my structured life for a ridiculous charade? This man has lost his handsome, sexy, muscular mind!

Before I could say no to his ridiculous plan, Will did the unthinkable—he kidnapped me. Next thing I know, I’m on his private jet, headed to Paris, living the kind of story I’ve only read about. But as we spend more time together and the line between pretense and reality blurs, I'm left wondering: Could this fake marriage to a billionaire be the adventure I’ve secretly yearned for? Could my fairy-tale marriage to Will Huntley become part of my reality?
