Lila
He fought fires for a living. Then he built the tech that stopped them. Now Caleb Mendez is worth billions. And I'm the one woman turning his perfectly controlled world to ash.
I never expected to fall into my billionaire neighbor's lap at a poetry reading. Literally. One breathless moment, and suddenly the whole neighborhood thinks we're together.
He needs a softer image to close a deal. I need a plus-one my family will approve of. Simple. Clean. Time-limited.
Except nothing about Caleb feels fake. Not his hands at my waist during staged photos. Not the way he pulls me close when tornado sirens scream, and the sky turns green. Not the kiss I can't stop thinking about.
Three weeks. One contract. Two people pretending so hard we forgot what was real.
I want something permanent. He's never let anyone close enough to try.
Only one of us is still pretending.
