Secret Kisses — Layla Hagen

I don't give a damn what people say about me. I'm successful and confident—one of San Diego's youngest CEOs.But when my womanizer rep costs me a major business deal, I've got a problem.One of my brothers suggests a fake girlfriend. Ridiculous.Then I spot the perfect opportunity.At a bar, I overhear a stunning blonde getting utterly humiliated by her ex—who casually informs her he dumped her to marry someone else. What an idiot.She looks like she needs rescuing. So I sit at their table and kiss her like I've done it a million times. After the jerk bails, I make her a deal: be my fake date for one business dinner.Phoebe agrees.It should've been simple, but the dinner turns into a weekend at a beach house.One bedroom.Too much wine.One unforgettable night.The next morning, she tries to pretend it didn't happen.Phoebe is nothing like the women I usually date. She's hardworking, has a sharp sense of humor, and she's the most selfless person I've met. That's why I want more.I just have to prove that there's more to me than she thinks. I'm close to my family. I spoil my nephew. I'm ready to change.Phoebe is still hurting and wants to play it safe. But I won't give up. Because this fake relationship is starting to feel very real.
