She only needed a fake boyfriend. She never expected real feelings. Vanessa is a brilliant attorney in the courtroom-but when it comes to her personal life, she's shy, awkward, and tired of being judged for not fitting society's standards. The last thing she wants is attention at her cousin's luxurious Cancún wedding. But a note on the invitation demanding that she bring her "boyfriend" leaves her desperate. Her solution? Hire a luxury escort to play the perfect partner. Enter Lucca-a dangerously attractive man with the face of an innocent nerd and a body built to ruin self-control. Charming, confident, and used to playing roles, Lucca hides a secret past: he dropped out of college to become an escort in order to save his brother's life. For Lucca, this is supposed to be just another job. The rules are simple: Never get involved with a client. Pretend to be the flawless boyfriend. Keep things strictly professional. But from the moment he meets Vanessa, every rule is on the verge of breaking. Under the shimmering Cancún sun, their fake relationship starts to feel achingly real. The sparks are undeniable. The chemistry, irresistible. And as their professional arrangement turns into something far more dangerous-more passionate-neither of them can tell where the lies end and the truth begins.
