Synopsis

I need a fake fiancée. She needs business funds. Can genuine feelings emerge from our pretend relationship?

Jeremy Kress

My brother’s wedding is around the corner, and my mother wants to fix me up with my ex-girlfriend. Diving back into those troubled waters is the last thing on my agenda. Romance? That ship sailed, hit an iceberg, and sank.

When you’re the COO of one of the country’s top financial firms, who has time for love games? Especially when my no-nonsense approach hasn’t exactly made me Mr. Popular at the office.

But I need a fake fiancée, not just to nip my mom’s antics in the bud, but to show my ex how happy I’ve been since she stomped all over me.

My plan rolls in motion when Zuri Blackwood brings an unexpected twist to my well-ordered life.

When she agrees to pose as my fiancée in exchange for funds for her cafe, the truth hits me. She’s everything I never knew I needed—a breath of fresh air in my calculated existence. Suddenly, the thought of her being just a ruse doesn’t sit well with me.

Can our temporary charade morph into permanent reality?
Yours Temporarily is book 1 in the Office Hearthrobs Series. Each book can be read as a complete standalone.
Meet the most dashing executives of Stone Financial Corporate office in San Francisco in the inspirational ‘Office Heartthrobs’ series. These men are brilliant, and successful, but beneath their polished exteriors lie deep emotional scars. Set against the high stakes of the financial industry, each man finds himself unexpectedly disarmed by the most powerful force: love.
