The Fake Out Book

She’s sunshine, glitter, and impulsive chaos. He’s suit-and-tie, headlines, and cold steel control. Together? Absolutely not... right? Jace Whitmore and Lily Thompson have *history*-the kind neither of them talks about, but both remember. She remembers him as the tall, egotistical jerk who kissed her stupid... then told her he wouldn’t touch her with a six-foot pole. RUDE. And infuriatingly unforgettable. He remembers her as the pint-sized menace who’s far too cute for his sanity. Her pout? Weaponized. That glitter obsession? Unbearable. Her... everything? Inexplicably addictive. And while she’s not his type (his type being supermodels with legs for days), his eyes, and maybe something else, never got that memo. He’s the reformed playboy now forced to run his family’s billion-dollar empire. She’s a glitter-wearing, bubble-blowing whirlwind of trouble who wants to get revenge on her ex. He’s the suit-clad face of responsibility. She’s the younger sister of his friend. And exactly no one thinks they should be within ten feet of each other. It started with one forbidden kiss. One very personal grudge… One impulsive decision… And the fear of things becoming real.

"Up until now, my life made sense. Up until now, I had been sheltered away from a world where murder was acceptable and debts were payment. Now, I was exposed to that world, and the lies, secrets and favours were my new currency. The rules were easy to follow and even easier to manipulate. But the last thing I expected was to be thrown in the deep end, fighting for everything I loved." Emiliana was moving on from what she lost, her safety, security, and the love. But what happens when her bodyguard comes back and shows her that the life her family had protected her from, is the life she fits into?

My name is Themis and I am not supposed to be alive. I survived the hunt, saddled with a husband and still I have to waddle my way through so many things to remain alive at the end of the day. The one person I can count on other than myself is my new husband who saved my life from the get go. And my gift of prophecy. Maybe, just maybe, it is also enough to save the Dar Empire too. My name is Themis and this is my story.

My boyfriend of eight years didn’t just leave me. He left me for my sister. And then suddenly, they were getting married. I hate being seen as the weakling, the ugly one. So I did what I could. I made an offer to Liam Carter —my Highschool Bully when we met in Tuscany. The last person I ever wanted to owe anything to. We pretend to date for the summer, to make everyone believe I’ve moved on and in return I help with his PR stunt. It was supposed to be fake. No feelings. No strings. Just a deal between enemies with something to prove. But the more we pretend, the more the lines blur—and suddenly, the boy who once made my life miserable might be the only one who truly sees me. And the worst part? I think I’m starting to fall for him.

“Kiss me, Summer.” I widened my eyes as his lips brushed mine, igniting a fire that threatened to consume me. ‘Had’ he gone crazy? This was all a… stunt. A ruse to make my ex back off. “W-Why?” “Because Alessandro is here,” he leaned closer, his eyes locked on mine while he breathed his words on my face. “And I want him to see that you’re mine… All mine.” * Being the ‘unwanted spinster’ for three years after an awful incident, Summer Foster is being used as a pawn in politics and family feud. When the mafia heir, and fiancé-to-be cheated on her with her cousin, Summer hatched a plan— propose a fake marriage with her childhood rival and business competitor, Maximilian Brampton. What started as a stunt, grew into something uncontrollable and passionate. But— family wars, business disputes, and old secrets are resurfaced. Loyalty and passion are intertwined. Even the incident from three years ago threatened to disrupt everything perfect.

This Thanksgiving, Elmer Fuller finally agrees to go on a trip with me. But when I wake up in the hotel, I don't see him anywhere. I spend the entire day desperately searching for him, only to stumble across a social media post from his first love. It's a selfie of her and Elmer having a cozy family dinner with her parents. The caption reads, "Someone's finally meeting the parents on Thanksgiving night. Mom and Dad can stop pressuring me to get married now!" Around her neck is the scarf my mother knitted for me before she passed. I left a comment. "Stop using my things to flirt with my husband. Take the scarf off—you can have him." Not long after, she posts an update. The scarf is shredded into pieces and tossed into a dog bed, with the caption, "What trash—too filthy even for a dog!" Elmer likes the post.

Getting drunk and asking the cute guy at the bar to pose as your fake boyfriend at your sister’s wedding? What could possibly go wrong… Not like he is a famous HOTTER THAN ALL HECK actor who is going to ask you to marry him so that he can get more time in the spotlight now that he is no longer relevant. Surely that won’t happen…

She signed a $50 million blood contract to become the grieving widow of a dead mafia billionaire. But the man she’s mourning is very much alive… watching her every move through hidden cameras… and slowly becoming dangerously obsessed with the only woman who ever shed real tears for him. Evelyn Monroe thought she was saving her dying mother from debt. Instead, she stepped into the deadly underworld of the Voss family syndicate. Now Evie is trapped inside a fortified mansion, playing the perfect widow for the ruthless don who faked his own death — Kael Voss, the cold-blooded heir who controls half the city’s illegal empire. A shadow from the past is hunting them both — the same killer who butchered Kael’s mother and nearly put a bullet in his head. As forbidden passion ignites between the fake widow and her secret husband, lines blur between protection and possession. One year. One lethal lie. One heart caught in the crossfire. Will Evie walk away with fifty million dollars and her life… or will she fall for the dangerous mafia king who already owns her soul?

When Sarra Reed flies home for her best friend’s wedding, she expects a reunion filled with laughter, champagne, and nostalgia. Instead, she discovers the groom is none other than the man she thought was still her boyfriend, Ethan. Shattered and betrayed, Sarra’s world tilts again when she collides with her best friend’s older brother, Ronan Vale, Hollywood’s most notorious bad boy, a billionaire actor whose smirk could set the tabloids on fire. He's forbidden and exciting but the past won't stay buried. Her ex, now her best friend’s fiancé, wants her back, refusing to let her go without a fight. Ronan wants her too, but loving him could ruin her oldest friendship and destroy his family ties forever. Two powerful men. One broken heart. In a world of red carpets, glittering scandals, and dark secrets, Sarra must decide whether to protect her best friend or surrender to the forbidden passion threatening to consume her.

I have to marry my sister’s fiancé in her place. When my twin sister vanishes the night before her wedding, I’m left with no choice but to walk down the aisle toward the ruthless Alpha who rules New York’s underworld and its packs with an iron fist. I knew taking on my sister’s identity wouldn’t be easy. What I didn’t expect was that the hardest part would be not falling for my husband. And as the fragile truce between humans and werewolves begins to shatter, I find that his arms are the only place I can find solace… and perhaps the very thing that will ruin me.
