About this ebook

I sell fantasies for a living. He's the first man who's ever wanted the real me.

Ever heard of OnlyFans? It wasn't exactly my childhood dream, but it pays the bills. My subscribers love the fantasy I sell, and I've gotten very good at giving them just enough to keep them coming back.

Then a green-eyed billionaire shows up on Haven Island and ruins everything.

See, Mr. Green-Eyed Gazillionaire is so far out of my league it's ridiculous. He belongs in boardrooms and private jets. I belong behind a camera and barefoot on an island. 

That doesn't change the fact that even though I'm a fantasy to most men, I only want to be his reality.

Men like him don't fall for women like me.

At least, that's what I've always believed.

Too bad my heart has never cared much about logic.

Because the closer I get to the only man who's ever seen past the fantasy...the more I risk losing the one thing I've never been willing to put on the line.

Me.

Ratings and reviews

A curvy woman and a hot man, Poppy and Gabe made an interesting couple. I loved her independence in running her own business online and beginning her own real-world job. She was smart and determined, even when her insecurities came out. Gabe started out as a bit of a jerk to me, but he did redeem himself as he became more involved with Poppy. He was protective, caring, and definitely, hot and loving. I felt they complemented each other quite well with the differences in their upbringings. I really enjoyed this story. I received a copy of this story through Xpresso Tours, and this is my unsolicited review.

Argh! I can’t quite tell if this pair was determined to make their relationship work or make it fail. Gabe and Poppy and all the sparks firing between them intrigued me in the previous book. Needless to say, I was excited to see where all that chemistry was going to lead. I can safely say that the twisty push-me/pull-you dance of this story was not at all what I was expecting. I spent half the book wanting to hug one or the other of them tight and promising everything would work out. And the other half, I wanted to smack sense into the pair of them. I absolutely adore where their relationship finally gets them, but wow, it’s one heck of a learning curve to get them there. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Hidden Gems Books.
