Hired Fiance

Emma Wales is a formidable figure in the corporate realm, a powerhouse who has climbed the ranks by keeping her emotions tightly guarded. However, as her sister's engagement party approaches – an event that will reunite her with her former fiancé, whom she left at the altar – Emma realizes she can't face this alone. Fearing her family's constant matchmaking attempts, she makes a bold decision to hire Ryan, a charismatic and mysterious man, to pose as her boyfriend for the occasion. Ryan ticks all the boxes for Emma's charade: he's clever, good-looking, and seemingly unattached. As the wedding festivities progress, Emma finds herself unexpectedly drawn to him, uncovering a depth of intelligence and warmth that awakens emotions she thought long buried. For the first time, she contemplates a life beyond her career ambitions. But beneath Ryan's facade lies a secret that could shatter their growing bond.

In this enthralling story of love, deception, and self-discovery, Emma must confront her past, face her fears, and decide if she's willing to take a leap of faith for the chance at genuine happiness. Or will the truth about Ryan push her back into the familiar, career-focused path she's always known?
