About this ebook

From USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Claudia Burgoa comes this fake-relationship-office romance that’ll leave readers laughing and swooning!

What happens when the guy who’s afraid of love finds himself in it?

Know what they say about never mixing business with pleasure? I thought it was dumb.

The one about never sleeping with your boss? 

I ignored it, too. 

I blame Aslan Spearman, the boss. 

He’s a wealthy playboy who doesn’t believe in happily ever after. 

He’s demanding, a workaholic, and a cynical…jerk. 

He’d rather have a root canal than be in a romantic relationship. 

Do you want to know a secret? I think he’s afraid of love. 

So when he has to go to the Spearman family reunion in Hawaii with his girlfriend, he’s in big trouble. 

That’s what happens when you lie to your family about your relationship status. 

It wasn’t important—until now.

What does he do?

He comes to me, his VP of Operations and right hand for assistance. 

After all, I’m a problem solver. 

Except my personal life is complete chaos.

So we make a deal. I’ll be his girlfriend if he helps me solve my problems. 

It’s a win-win situation, right?

I mean, how hard can it be?

It’s not like I plan to fall in love. 

Ratings and reviews

4 1/2 stars for me. I enjoyed this story. Keaton and Aslan were a power duo on the work front. Both had personal issues that were getting out of control. Keaton was trying to do the right thing for her family. Aslan was trying to avoid his mother. Circumstances pushed the two into a deal to help the other out. They tried to keep their hearts out of it, keep it business. Needless to say, things did not go smoothly. I was pulled into the story from the start, rooted for this duo.

Aslan and Keaton had me smiling, laughing, and swooning. While this is a full-length novel, it moves quickly and I found myself unable to put this down. It's fun and witty and I loved being able to visit all these other Spearmans. I can't wait to see what the author has planned next.

Aslan has boxed himself in a corner, admit to his Mum that he lied about a girlfriend to get her off his back (hell no!) or find a fake girlfriend to go to the family holiday slash vowel renewal(damn straight!). The timing is perfect for Aslan and Keaton to pretend date as unfortunately her life is unravelling and she needs a cash influx and being Alsan's pretend girlfriend just before she leaves means she can live her fantasy of being his girlfriend even just a short while. Contracts can be renegotiated and that's what Aslan is hoping for as he along with his triplet brothers know he feels more for Keaton after really spending time with her. As always with any Spearman family there is meddling, laughs, awkward moments and plenty of love to go around if only Keaton would stop self sabotaging and open her heart.
