Fake for Him

He's in control, not me. Yet, I'm willing to submit.
He's claiming me. I know it and want it. In fact, I demand it. 

Richard's my best friend's brother, and totally off limits.
He's under the control of his family's ambitiously demanding patriarch but longs for independence.
His own father thwarts his every move.
He needs a woman to help him overtake his father's inheritance.
That's where I come in...as his fake wife.
He asks me to pretend to be married to him, make it appear like we're a loving couple.
Not a difficult ask when I catch a glimpse of his chiseled body or feel the caress of his hand on my back.
The way he looks at me is blurring the lines between real and pretend.
How far will we go to keep up appearances?
And will my heart stay intact through all of this?

This is a stand-alone. Hot and spicy. Twist and turns. Happy ending.
