Book Blurb:
One fake engagement. One very real attraction. And a dangerous legacy that could destroy everything.
Ailee Klein has been the perfect assistant to powerhouse attorney Josh Huxley for three years—professional, efficient, and completely invisible. Until one disastrous dinner with her lying ex-fiancé goes viral, and Josh does the unthinkable: he claims she’s engaged to him instead.
It’s supposed to be temporary. A few months of playing pretend to save face and help Josh avoid “professional consequences” from his firm. But when he slides a sapphire ring on her finger, temporary starts to feel dangerously real.
Josh Huxley has spent his entire life terrified he’s just like his psychopathic mother—cold, calculating, and capable of monstrous acts. He puts up a veneer of success and respectability, keeping everyone at a safe distance. The last thing he needs is to fall for his sweet, curvy assistant who deserves so much better than a man afraid of his own darkness.
But living together changes everything. Every smile, every touch breaks down his control. When dangerous enemies from his family’s past target Ailee, he’s put to the test: can he face the parts of himself he’s spent a lifetime running from to keep her safe?
She thinks this is just an arrangement.
He knows she’s the only woman who’s ever made him believe he deserves happiness.
And when their six months are up, neither one will be ready to let go.

Review:
Well, this was one intense book.
It has the Good girl falls for the Bad boy vibe. But maybe all is not what it seems.
Josh and Ailee are a match. They’ve worked together for years and fell in love without realizing it. Dark forces on both sides bring them even closer together and what starts out as a rescue ends up being something much more.
Josh’s struggle to overcome his past and his tendencies is so relatable. Ailee’s even more so. Together then prop each other up, support one another, and keep each other safe.
I won’t spoil the finale, but if you’ve read the previous books in this series you will be invested in how this ends.
I will say I thought the final “battle” was a little rushed. I would have been nice to have more suspense since this is what the 3 books have been leading up to.
Overall, good book, great characters, and a good series.
