FakeMates

Fake love was supposed to be simple. Until it wasn’t.

Evelyn Bishop makes one reckless mistake and Dean Carter is the first to find out. Her brother’s best friend. Her childhood crush. Her greatest regret.

To keep her secret buried, she agrees to Dean’s terms: a contract. A fake relationship. A deal that shifts the power squarely into his hands.

But Dean doesn’t just want control. He wants her obedience. Her body. Her trust. And Evelyn, despite everything she should know better than to feel, wants to give it.

What starts as blackmail spirals into something far more dangerous. Because the lines blur. Rules bend. And the man she once admired is nothing like the boy she used to know.

He's darker. Colder. And he doesn’t plan on letting her go.
