The Invitation

About the book

The feeling of dislike towards Ripley Brewer is something that I cannot seem to shake. However, despite my strong aversion towards him, I find myself in a rather peculiar situation. I am currently nestled on his lap, gazing into his captivating ocean-blue eyes, all while being closely watched by the cameras capturing our every interaction.

The reason for this unexpected closeness lies in my deep loyalty to my best friend who is in dire need of assistance to salvage her career. In a bid to help her out, I agree to participate in a reality show, unaware that Ripley would be joining as my fake boyfriend.

True to form, our initial encounter erupts into a heated argument, with the playboy billionaire accusing me of orchestrating the entire setup. Despite my vehement protests and declaration of disdain towards him, we eventually find ourselves signing a contract that seals our roles as pretend partners.

Wary of his impeccably sculpted physique and conceited demeanor, I reluctantly play along, reluctantly playing the part of someone falling in love with their nemesis.

As the charade plays out, I begin to question whether Ripley's sentiments are genuine or merely a part of the act.
