Be My Boyfriend Just For Tonight
When the star captain of Boston Hockey College, who happens to be the son of the Governor of Massachusetts, and his alternate captain go to war over me, their bitter rivalry threatens to turn the ice into a battlefield.
My boyfriend of five years, Elvis Nelson, destroys everything we have built when I catch him cheating on me with my best friend. Heartbroken and desperate for revenge, I cross paths with Edward Oxford.
Edward is the last man I should get involved with, yet he is the only man who can help me get revenge on Elvis, both on and off the ice, while making my school journalism project a success.
My offer is simple: "Be my boyfriend just for tonight. Three thousand dollars. No strings attached. Strictly business."
Edward agrees, but he has a counteroffer of his own: "Act as my fiancée in front of my parents to stop them from pressuring me to get married. Seven thousand dollars a month."
It is supposed to be a game. Until our first dinner with his family turns our carefully negotiated deception into a nightmare. His parents announce our wedding date before either of us can escape, leaving us trapped in a marriage neither of us wants.
So we make one final deal: We will get married, live separate lives, and remain free to bring other romantic partners into our matrimonial home.
But just as our fake marriage begins to feel real, my brother's disappearance threatens to destroy everything as evidence points at Edward.
Meanwhile, Edward uncovers a secret, and he is determined to make me pay.
As the truth about my brother's disappearance begins to unfold, I must decide whether Edward, the man I vow to destroy, is my enemy or the only true love I will ever crave.

Chapter: CHAPTER 6: Payback Time, Part Two“Courtney!” Lilian called out, her voice cutting through the loud music. “What do you think you’re doing?”I ignored her completely, leaning in to whisper something to Edward before letting out a soft giggle.Lilian reached out, grabbed my bare shoulder, and yanked me backward.“You should be ashamed of yourself!” she shouted, her face flushed with anger.Having delivered her outburst, she turned on her heels and started walking back toward the bar.I stood up immediately, adjusting the hem of my gown.“Lilian!” I barked.The authority in my voice made her stop in her tracks.“Not too fast.”She slowly turned to face me, her arms crossed tightly over her chest as she tried to maintain an air of superiority.I stepped closer, my heels clicking against the tiled floor.“Who should be ashamed, you or me?”“What are you talking about?” Lilian stammered.Her eyes darted toward Elvis at the bar before returning to me. A flicker of panic crossed her face.I didn’t give her a chance to ask an

Chapter: CHAPTER 5: Payback Time, Part OneAll eyes in the room turned toward us. The large living room was packed with guests, and the air was thick with perfume, sweat, and the sour smell of liquor. The heavy bass from the DJ’s speakers blasted through the room, vibrating against my chest.I kept my hand firmly locked in Edward’s as we walked past the crowd, my gold gown catching the overhead lights with every step. Edward strode confidently beside me, his shoulders square and his expression relaxed, as if he owned the room.As we moved farther into the crowd, the whispers started.“Oh my gosh, who are they?” a girl in a short red dress asked her male friend.“That’s Captain Edward, the governor’s son,” her friend replied. “And she’s a renowned sports journalist. But I never knew they were dating.”“Perfect match,” another girl whispered, nudging her partner with her elbow.“He’s so tall and handsome. I wish he were my man,” another girl said openly, her eyes following Edward from head to toe without an ounce of shame.Near

Chapter: CHAPTER 4: Off To The PartyIt was 8:30 p.m. as I checked my wristwatch. Time to return to Edward’s suite, my mind already fixed on the horrors I was about to release at the party. I looked at my reflection in the mirror one last time, my face tightening. “Elvis played his game and messed with my heart. That’s a mistake he's going to regret!” I said, clenching my teeth. “I won't let this slide. He hit me once; I'll come after him twice as hard.” I stepped out of the room and took the elevator back to the top floor, my heels clicking against the tiles. I stood outside Edward's door and knocked softly. The electronic lock clicked open almost instantly.When he opened the door, my breath caught in my throat.Edward stood there wearing nothing but a white towel wrapped securely around his waist. He had the build of an elite athlete, with a broad chest, sharp collarbones, and a well-defined six-pack that moved as he breathed.I quickly looked away, fixing my gaze on the doorframe to maintain my composure.“You have

Chapter: CHAPTER 3: Hotel“What?” I looked out the window as the car began to move. “Where are we going?”“The deal is that I act as your real boyfriend,” Edward replied as he drove out of the lounge. “Are you tired already?”I shifted in my seat, my jaw tightening. “Me? Tired? No way.”“Then let’s keep the fire burning.”“What do you mean?”He didn’t reply. Instead, he focused on the road, changing lanes and navigating the evening traffic with calculated efficiency. I watched the city lights blur past, the silence between us heavy but charged.“Where are you taking me?” I asked again after five minutes of silence.“Relax, girlfriend,” Edward said, his voice calm. “We need to get ready for the party. Remember?”Five minutes later, he drove through the secure, heavily guarded gates of a massive luxury hotel. The modern building towered over the Boston skyline. He parked in a reserved spot.“What are we doing here?” I asked, looking around.“This is where I lounge,” he replied, switching off the engine.“You’re

Chapter: CHAPTER 2: First DealAlthough Edward was on the same hockey team as Elvis, they were bitter rivals. Elvis had never had a single good thing to say about him. He was obsessed with overthrowing Edward and becoming the team captain.Edward was the perfect subject for my project at Boston Journalism University, titled A Critical Analysis of Boston Hockey College’s Stars: A Case Study of Captain Edward Oxford.Without access to Edward and his team, my project would be a total flop. And without my project, there would be no graduation for me.I desperately needed to interview Edward and his team, so I asked Elvis to introduce me to him. Elvis repeatedly refused out of pure jealousy. In fact, he had explicitly told me to change my project topic, but I refused.Now, looking at Edward, a wicked idea began to form. I had an opportunity to bruise Elvis’s ego in a way he would never recover from. My eyes settled on the gold wristwatch on Edward’s left wrist.He didn't look at me at first. He simply gestured to the ba

Chapter: CHAPTER 1: BetrayedElvis and I had been together for five years, and he had just turned twenty-four.Early that morning, I had called him from my bedroom at my parents’ house in Rhode Island, where I was helping my dad with a documentary project.Elvis and I talked about regular things, including the weather, the tight production schedule, and how exhausted I was.I kept my voice perfectly flat, pretending I had completely forgotten his birthday. In reality, I had been meticulously planning this for a week. I had already coordinated a surprise party for 9:00 p.m. with his closest friends, Robert and Julie, making sure every detail was taken care of. But the real gift was my presence.I had left the documentary behind and boarded a train straight to Massachusetts to pull off the ultimate surprise.By 5:00 p.m., the train pulled into Boston South Station. The city's heavy humidity hit me the moment I stepped off. I grabbed the handle of my small trolley suitcase, navigated through the crowd of commuters,
