Black Ties and White Lies: A Billionaire Fake Engagement

Black Ties and White Lies: A Billionaire Fake Engagement

Life is never black and white. One minute you’re a struggling graphic designer in LA that's finally coming to terms with being single forever, and the next you're flying to New York in a private jet to get engaged to your ex-boyfriend’s older brother. At least...that’s what everyone thinks. Forced to clean up his playboy image in order to protect his company, Beckham Sinclair, the city’s most eligible billionaire bachelor, wants me to be his fake fiancée and personal assistant. Now I'm spending every spare second with a man I thought I’d never see again. My freshly mended heart has barely recovered from the first time a Sinclair broke it. But with each passing day, Beck’s dirty mouth and lingering stares make me question his motives—and mine. As the line blurs between real and pretend, only one thing is certain: there are secrets hiding in this city full of black ties and white lies.

EPILOGUE - PRESTON - FOUR MONTHS LATER“Preston, I’m not so sure about this,” Emma whispers from behind me. Her fingers tighten around mine as I lead her to the tall fence.I turn around to look at her, only seeing part of her face through the darkness. The moon tries to illuminate the night, but the trees surrounding us make it hard. “Since when are you unsure about breaking and entering? If my memory serves me right, it was a year ago that I caught you hopping this same fence to crash Peyton’s party.”Emma rolls her eyes, using her free hand to give me a playful shove. “At least then the club was open. It feels wrong for everything at Pembroke to be so dark.”I nod in agreement, leading her to a spot I think would work to hop the fence. My mind goes back to a year ago when I first laid eyes on her. Even that night, I knew something was special about Emma, and I’ve known every day since in the year we’ve been together.And what a year it’s been. From the moment we won the Super Bowl,

My hands drift down her back until they’re cupping her asscheeks. I pull her tighter to me, loving having our bodies flush against one another. “I was so excited to get you back that I’m already messing this up.” I laugh, leaning in for one small kiss before continuing. I tilt my head back, wanting to be able to look into her eyes before asking the next question.“Em, my love, my everything, will you be my girlfriend?”She smiles, her entire face lighting up with her loud squeal. “Duh!” she rushes out excitedly, leaning in to kiss me. “Emma Turner, Preston Rhodes’ girlfriend. Damn, that’s hot.”I laugh, shaking my head at her. “Emma Turner, the most incredible woman to ever exist and the only one to ever hold my heart. Damn…that’s hot.”We both laugh at my impression of her. “That’s hot” definitely sounds a lot better coming from her mouth than it does mine.“So there’s one more thing I have to tell you,” Emma begins before pulling her bottom lip between her teeth.“And what’s that, r

PRESTONExhaustion seeps into my bones as we finally make it back to the hotel room after a night filled with celebrating our Super Bowl win. Winning the last game of my career is a surreal feeling, but what made it feel even better was having Emma by my side throughout all of tonight.When they handed me the trophy, I couldn’t look at anyone but her. The smile on her face as she watched me give a speech will be burned in my mind forever. She seemed so happy and proud to watch me succeed, to experience it with me, and I’ll forever be grateful that I got to share the moment with her. It made tonight all the better because I had the woman I love with me.I look at Emma as she sits down at the end of the king-sized bed and begins to unzip one of her knee-high boots. I stand in the doorway for a moment, taking it in that she’s really here.She looks up at me with a sleepy smile. “What are you looking at, Rhodes?”I fold my arms across my chest and lean against the doorframe. “You,” I answ

EMMACheers erupt from all around us, and cameras flash right next to us, but I don’t pay attention to any of it. All I care about is getting to Preston and finally being in his arms after months apart.I leap toward him, completely trusting that he’ll catch me.The moment his strong arms wrap around me, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I know I’ve missed him in our time apart, but I hadn’t realized how deep missing him went until I found myself back in his arms. I missed him all the way down to my bones, and now that I feel him around me again, I know I can never let him go.Preston’s hand lifts to cradle the back of my head, keeping me pressed to him as he lines up his mouth next to my ear. “Tell me this is real,” he says, his voice thick with emotion.I nod, tears already welling up in my eyes. I don’t mind these tears. They’re the happy kind. “It’s real. You just won the Super Bowl, Rhodes.”He laughs, holding me even tighter. People rush all around us, cal

PRESTONMy heart pounds as we take what will most likely be the final possession of the game. We’re down by three. All we need is a field goal to tie it, but I don’t want to tie. I want to end the game and win the Super Bowl.I look around at the men standing in the huddle, all staring at me, waiting for me to make the call. They’re tired—I can see it in their faces and by the way all of them gasp for air. The Portland Pirates had only been on the field for two minutes when they managed to get up by three points. We hadn’t had much of a break, but a break won’t be needed if we can just do one final drive and have the fairy-tale ending to our fairy-tale season.I meet the eyes of the guys, suddenly feeling choked up about this possibly being the last drive of my football career. I want it to mean something, for us to go out on top as a team. Leaning forward, I make sure to yell so all of the men looking to me for guidance can hear me. “This game with all of you has been some of the bes

“Because I understand you, dear. I was you. And I know true love when I see it, and I can tell you my grandson loves you despite anything you don’t love about yourself.”Tears stream down my face at this point. “You don’t know that. I mean, he nev⁠—”Gram swats at the air between us dismissively. “I knew my boy was falling for you in the Hamptons, and still loves you to this day. The same way I knew that the story you two fed the family was bullshit. You two had just met and, for reasons I’m not sure of, were telling the world you’d been dating.”I stare at Gram with my mouth hanging wide open. I don’t know if I’m more surprised she said the word “bullshit” or the fact she knew Preston and I were lying. “What?” I get out, pausing for a moment to think about how she could know. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I lie.Gram rolls her eyes. “Spare me the lies, darling. I could see right through your story.”“Why didn’t you say anything?” I whisper. If she knew the entire time, sh

In Good Company: An Ex's Brother Billionaire Romance

Callahan Hastings is relentless when it comes to getting what he wants, and what he wants is me–to be his private chef in the Hamptons for the summer. My dream job served to me on a silver platter by one of the wealthiest members of Pembroke Hills Country Club. The only catch? He’s my ex-boyfriend’s older brother with a reputation for being as charming as he is cunning. But Cal doesn’t take no for an answer. He draws you in with flirty smiles and extravagant promises. I should have seen him coming, but I didn’t. I should have stayed away, but I couldn’t. His playful touches and burning gaze have ignited a fire in me. The more I resist him, the more irresistible he becomes. I've always known there's an expiration date on the job–an expiration date on us. But leaving isn't going to be easy with Cal on his knees, begging me to stay...

He smiles at me from across the entryway of the villa, giving me a wink as they continue fussing over the tie he insisted on tying himself.I take a deep breath, trying to calm the jitters.I’m getting married today.I smile, still in shock that today’s my wedding day.It feels like it took forever to get here, but it also came so fast. At the end of our first summer together, Cal proposed. It was magical, and I didn’t know it was possible for me to be so happy. At first, we were going to do a small wedding as soon as we could. But after thinking about it, I knew my dream was to get married in front of all our friends and family. We thought about doing something at Pembroke, but when Cal was able to book my dream villa in Lake Como, Italy, for our wedding, it seemed like fate. We were engaged a litt

LUCY“I have a gift I want to give you before we head out,” Cal announces, his arms wrapping around my middle as he brings my back to his front.I stare at him in the mirror with a smile on my face. “A gift for me? What’s the occasion?”“The occasion is you’re back, and I missed you.” He presses a kiss to the base of my neck, making my entire body shiver. He continues to trail kisses along my skin as I attempt to put my earrings in. His skin is soft against mine, something I’m not typically used to.We’re going to Pembroke Hills tonight for their annual Black-Tie Event. From what I understand, the club goes all out for the evening, and I’m excited to experience it.It’s my first time back at the club since returning to the Hamptons. After Cal surprised me by visiting, we spent a week getting everything settled for my parents. It was amazing having him at home with me, and I fell even more in love with him as I watched him create a bond with my parents. He eventually had to go to Manha

CAL“So, this is it,” Lucy tells me with a bashful grin as we step into her childhood bedroom.I laugh, my eyes scanning the room, not knowing where to look first. “This is amazing.”Lucy softly shuts the door behind us, making my pulse spike a little, remembering the scowl on her father’s face when Lucy said we were going to go upstairs to talk some more.I clear my throat, my eyes focusing on the shut door. “Your dad was very clear he wanted that door open.”Lucy laughs and rolls her eyes. “I’m twenty-three years old. He’ll get over it. Plus, he’s going to bed. No one sleeps deeper than him.”I nod, feeling like a teenager again, afraid of a father on the other side of the house. I take a step closer to a wall of photos. It showcases photos of Lucy at different ages, making me smile. I point to one of a five- or six-year-old Lucy in a full chef’s costume. “So you knew you wanted to cook from a young age?” I ask.She nods as her attention shifts to the photo as well. “You could say t

Jude had made it sound like Cal would forgive me for anything if he just knew how I felt. Now, he won’t talk to me, so I can’t even tell him how I really feel.I swallow, wincing at the soreness in my throat from my sobs. I spent the better part of an hour huddled in the back office of the store, letting myself finally break down at the loss of Cal. For two weeks, I’ve tried to be strong. I pushed all thoughts of him from my mind as I focused on being there for my parents.But I can only be strong for so long.And having hope that maybe I could make this work—be the daughter my parents deserve and also still have Cal in my life—just to have it ripped away from me was my breaking point.I’m broken.I’ve never had my heart bro

It’s getting late in the evening, but I still have so much to do before I can go home for the night.“Dad’s doing good. Still grumpy that we’re not letting him work, but we haven’t had any mishaps since he got back from the hospital.”Charlotte nods.“I know where you get your stubbornness from,” Charlotte quips. “I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting your dad in person yet, but it’s obvious that you’re set in your ways just like he is.”Through FaceTime, she and my father have struck up a friendship. I’ve never heard my dad belly laugh, but that all changed the other day when Charlotte and I were video chatting. She was catching me up on what was going on in her life—leaving out details about Cal—when she made some kind of joke that

CALI’m never falling in love again.I always thought people were dramatic when they complained about a broken heart. I’m a grown adult; I didn’t think anything had the capacity to make me not want to leave my bed or even eat a meal.But then I fell in love with Lucy Rae Owens.It’s been thirteen days since I watched her step onto that plane, taking my heart right along with her.Thirteen mornings I’ve woken up and not wanted to get out of bed.Thirteen nights I’ve lain awake talking myself out of calling her and reminding myself that if she wanted to talk to me, she would.I fell in love with a woman who wasn’t ready to be loved, and I’m paying the price for it.It doesn’t help that everything reminds me of her. I used to love the Hamptons and Pembroke. Being here for the summer was my escape. Now, being here without her is torture.I barely want to step foot in Pembroke Grill, thinking of all the times we sat around a table with our friends.Speaking of friends, I’ve rejected every

Rewrite Our Story: Best Friend's Brother Second Chance

Cade Jennings was always there for me when I needed him—until he wasn’t. I’d spent my entire life loving my best friend’s older brother. Every single one of my birthday wishes was spent hoping Cade would finally notice me. And then one day, he did. But not all love stories have happy endings. It's been years since I left the small town of Sutten Mountain devastated and heartbroken. I’d used the pain to fuel a bestselling novel that solidified I’d never have to return. Until tragedy struck, forcing me to face the man who shattered my heart. I thought I’d be strong enough to see him again. I didn’t expect the angry, broken man staring back at me. But the more time we spend around each other, the more I see glimpses of the man I fell in love with. His touch still owns me. His kiss still brands me. And even after all this time, the feelings I have for him still consume me. Cade and I are unfinished business, and this time, he’s not letting me leave until we rewrite our story.

Chapter: 87
CAMDENI’m sitting in my tiny office in the Sutten gallery, reviewing new pieces I’m having shipped here, when the bell to the gallery chimes. My eyes fall to the time in the corner of my monitor screen. It’s barely seven in the morning. We aren’t open yet. We aren’t open at all today. Almost every piece of art had sold at the opening over the weekend. And anything that didn’t sell that night sold on Monday. It’s Wednesday, so the gallery is empty, and I won’t have new inventory until this weekend.Sighing, I push my chair away from my desk and head down the hallway. I hadn’t bothered locking the door to the gallery because I thought the closed sign on the door and the lack of lights would inform anyone curious enough to wander by that we were closed.I’m ready to tell the customer I have nothing to sell them when my feet come to a halt. It isn’t a customer in the gallery. It’s Pippa.She doesn’t notice me, her eyes trained on a piece of art on the far wall that isn’t for sale. It was

“What’s that?” Lenora yells, sitting forward slightly. Her forehead bumps against the bowl of the dryer. She tries to swat it away, but it doesn’t work. “You said you and him have already boinked?”“No!” I screech, sitting forward so quickly I almost fall out of my chair. “Definitely not. Never going to happen.”“You had a hot encounter with the new art owner?” Rosemary asks, equally as loud as her friend.I didn’t think it could get any worse, but it does. It totally does because I know this town, and I know even if I stood on my chair and addressed every single person in here to tell them Camden and I most definitely have never slept together, the rumors would still spread like wildfire, thanks to Rosemary’s outlandish question.This can’t be happening. I begin to think of what alias I’ll live under when I move halfway across the country. I always wanted to be named after a princess when I was younger. Could I pass as an Ariel? Or maybe Aurora?

PIPPA“Pippa, darling, who are you getting freaky with lately?”I’d respond to the sweet old lady sitting in the salon chair next to me, but I’m too busy choking on the latte I’d been sucking down. I sputter, trying to swallow the iced coffee that’d gone down the wrong pipe.“Stop wiggling,” Rhonda chides, holding on tight to a chunk of my hair as I try not to die at the words from a lady who hosts her bible studies at Wake and Bake some mornings.“What?” Rosemary asks innocently, like the question she asked me was completely normal conversation for a Saturday afternoon at the hair salon.“You can’t just go asking young ladies who they’re boinking, Rosemary,” Lenora chides from next to her friend. They’re both old enough to be my grandmother. In fact, they both were very close with my Grandma Pat before she passed.“Who uses the word boinking?” Rosemary fires back, her focus on the gossip magazine in front of her.

CAMDENI take a second before going back to the event. Pippa walked out the door a few minutes ago, yet I haven’t moved since she left. It still smells like her in my office, the scent of her surrounding me, even though I’d prefer it not to. I don’t like how she smells unlike any woman I know. I’m used to the scent of a few different expensive perfumes. All women in my circle wear the same handful of fragrances. They’re either way too flowery or way too overpowering.Pippa doesn’t smell like either. Everywhere she goes, she leaves the scent of vanilla and strawberries. I find myself taking a deep inhale, hating myself for wanting to get another waft of her.I stare ahead of me at the statue in the corner of my office. It’s something I almost didn’t bring with me from Manhattan. It wasn’t intended to be sold; there was no reason for me to bring it with me. But I couldn’t help it.And now after watching Pippa marvel at it, I’m wondering if maybe it has a chance to sell. Maybe I should g

PIPPAI don’t know if I’ve ever seen something so beautiful that it took my breath away. I’m speechless, allowing my finger to gently run over the carved curves of the statue.It’s of a couple, but only from their waist up. They clutch one another so delicately, so fiercely, that it’s obvious they’re in love. You look at them and it seems like something is trying to keep them apart, but they’re clinging to each other so tightly, like they won’t let anything come between them. The way her back arches, it appears as if some outside force you can’t see is pulling her from him.“This is stunning,” I whisper, running my finger along their outstretched arms.“You think?” Camden keeps his voice poised, but I can feel his gaze hot on me.“Why isn’t it on display out there? It would sell immediately.”“The artist doesn’t want to sell it.”I look at him in shock. Who wouldn’t want to sell this masterpiece?

Absolutely pathetic.“Camden, it’s fine,” Pippa insists from my side. “I can go.”I don’t even give an answer. There’s no way in hell she’s going anywhere when she’s done nothing wrong.“Jason, don’t make any more of a scene than you already have. You can leave, or I can make you leave, which would make me very, very upset because I don’t like drama or theatrics.”“You’re going to defend a server over me?

Founded on Goodbye: A Rockstar Romance

His songs were better when he had a broken heart. That sentence would change my life after my dream job was dished to me on a shiny, silver platter. All I had to do? Hurt Nash Pierce enough to get him writing good music again. The pop icon’s songs were no longer the phenomena they used to be. His team needed another breakthrough album—like the first he’d penned, using his heartbreak as fuel. The plan was simple: I’d go on tour with him as a backup dancer…and make him fall in love with me. I was hired to inspire—to become embedded into every lyric he wrote. Then, I was to set fire to it all—to destroy every feeling we hoped he’d develop for me. It seemed simple enough. Easy, even. I didn’t expect to be consumed myself—to see so much in the man displayed in the tabloids. I didn’t foresee falling for him. It didn’t occur to me that, while attempting to break his heart, I might just shatter my own. Most of all, I never thought I’d fight so hard to hold on to a relationship that had always been founded on goodbye.

But here we are, with a hundred screaming fans outside the door I’m supposed to be walking in.I rub my temples, hiding behind the tinted glass for a few seconds longer.

People in LA traffic are so friendly.“I’m sorry, Nora, but you can’t expect me to be silent when you tell me you’re going on tour with Nash freaking Pierce!”“Well believe it,” I tell her. “I have to go to auditions, but it seemed like kind of a done deal.” “Remember us common people on your road to fame,” she jokes, muttering something quietly tosomeone on her end of the line.“By the way, I had to give Nash’s manager all of your info,” I add nonchalantly, hoping she doesn’t freak out.“What?” she screeches, clearly freaking out.“I know, I know.

Unfortunately, my manager is persistent and doesn’t give a rat’s ass if I’m done with the conversation or not.“It’s already been decided, Nash. I was just letting you know as a formality. Two days from now we’ll be holding auditions for this tour’s backup dancers.”I still refuse to look at her, instead staring down at my guitar, until I see two death trap shoes step in front of me.I sigh, my fingers falling from the fret board as I look up at my manager, Monica Masters. By the look on her face, she’s annoyed by me, but if we’re being honest, that’s the normal look I see from her. “I said I didn’t want fucking dancers. It’s me and my band up on stage. There’s no need for dancers,” I huff. I managed to sell out arenas on my last tour just fine without dancers.

She can’t be much older than my twenty-one years.
