Protected by the Damaged Billionaire

I got fake-engaged to my brother’s best friend—accidentally.

Zach David was my past, or so I thought.
The billionaire who once felt like home.

Eight months ago, we walked away from each other.
Now we’re working side by side on SteeleTech’s most high-profile gala, and I’m pretending his gray eyes don’t still undo me.

The engagement was supposed to be temporary.
A performance for the cameras.

Until I learn walking away isn’t an option anymore.

Because someone is watching me.
Waiting for the moment I slip.

Protecting me comes naturally to Zach.
Trusting him with my future is harder.

When the truth comes out, I won’t just be fighting for my career.
I’ll be fighting for the man I still love—and the life growing inside me.
