Audacious

The plan was simple: pretend to date through the holidays, avoid family interrogation, and return to our normal, separate lives in the city.

Easy. Logical. Completely under control.

Except…

1️⃣ One fake kiss at his family’s Christmas party sent my heart into free fall.

2️⃣ His family adores me, mine adores him—and they all think we’re soulmates.

3️⃣ Jeff Norouzi isn’t just my boss—he’s charming, devastatingly handsome, and hiding a softer side I never saw coming.

I was supposed to protect my heart, but now every look, every touch, every whispered inside joke feels real—too real.

We agreed to fake it until New Year’s. But as the days pass and the snow falls, I can’t shake the feeling that maybe, just maybe…

We were never pretending at all.

But falling for my boss—a man whose world is far from simple—means risking everything. My heart, my career, and the perfectly controlled life I thought I wanted.

I swore I wouldn’t let love in.

But nothing could have prepared me for what happens next.
