The Book:

Glass-doll beauty. A shy, proper smile. Georgette
Montgomery is the perfect billionaire’s fiancé.

Or she would be, if she existed.

A dark past. A smile that hides everything. At nineteen, Rae Grove escapes her
disaster life by pretending to be other people—specifically, whoever the man
paying her that night wants her to be.

Until she’s offered enough money for a one-way ticket to a better life. All she
has to do is fly to Paris and pretend to be the fiancé of young business tycoon
Cohen Ashworth for one month. Within an hour of meeting Cohen, Rae knows three
things about him:

1. He hates everyone and everything.
2. He has abundant wit and a knife-sharp tongue.
3. He uses 2 to make everyone aware of 1.

Before long, Rae’s determined to crack open his unbreakable shell. Cohen’s
determined to stay unbroken. But no one escapes unscathed when two
opposite worlds collide.

This book is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.  

Teaser:

“So you want me to change.” His jaw is
taut.
 
“You need to change, or you’re not going
to get what you want.” He needs to hear it. “And you’re going to be miserable your
whole life—”
 
“I don’t know how to change!” he yells.
 
I stop, half-expecting the divider
separating us from the driver to roll down, but it doesn’t. We’re still alone
in the backseat. I should be afraid, I should be recoiling the way I do
whenever a man raises his voice to me. But when I reach for the fear, I don’t
find it.
 
All I find is…pity?
 
“I know what I am. What I’m like.” His
voice cracks, just slightly, but he masters it. “If I could be different, I
would. Do you understand that? I’m not like you. I can’t slip on someone else’s
persona like changing my clothes.”
 
That stupid twinge of pity turns into a
full-fledged needle. I’m very familiar with that shadow in his voice, because
it’s been in my heart for years. Self-loathing. At least I can escape myself by
being other people. He doesn’t even have that luxury.
 
Stop it, Rae. Don’t you dare feel sorry
for him. He has everything you’ve ever wanted, remember?
 
“That’s bullshit,” I say bluntly. “You
can change. Anyone can change. No matter how long they’ve been…bad. No matter
what their past is like.”
 
I have to believe that.
 
“Show me.”
 
“What?”
 
He turns his full gaze directly on me,
and I lose myself for a brief second in those ice eyes. “Show me how to be
someone else. You do it so easily. You’re getting paid enough, I might as well
get some use out of you.”
 
“You mean like…give you nice lessons?”
 
He grimaces. “I’d rather we didn’t call
it that.”
 
“Well…” I hesitate.
 
“Please,” he says emotionlessly. And if
I had to bet on it, I’d say it was damn near the first time that word had
passed through those perfect lips.
