About this listen

Amazon #5 bestseller

He’s my brother’s best friend
My fake husband...
And doesn’t believe in love

Nathan Davenport, CEO of the Davenport empire is my complete opposite.
He hates chocolate. I’m a size sixteen dessert chef.
He only wears black. I love glitter and pink.
He’s grumpy, while I look on the brighter side of life.
Too bad his piercing eyes, and high cheekbones haunt my dreams.

When he offers to loan me the money to save my bakery.
I have no choice but to agree.
Except he has conditions:

I must pretend to be his wife for a year
I must fake my feelings for him so his family believes our relationship.
I must stay by his side for the duration of our arrangement so he can claim his inheritance.

I don’t even like the man, surely I can get through this charade without developing feelings for him?
Except living in close proximity with him, our chemistry escalates
I know I am falling for the wrong man.
For when I tell him: “I love you,” he growls: “Love was never part of the equation...”

This is an opposites attract, forced proximity, one-bed, marriage of convenience, and a brother's best friend, billionaire romance with a plus size FMC. It is a complete standalone.

This book is meant to be set in UK and the characters are meant to be British but the author clearly hasn't done research into how things function in the UK. They have clearly used the USA ways of functioning as a basis. The way they described the Military is completely wrong for the UK and medical care is wrong too.
Although this is a great story it ruined it overall for me. The author should have just wrote the book set in the USA to make it more realistic. Even though it is fictional it gives the wrong presidents of how things function in the UK.

Loved the story but bad research.

but it was not the authors best book. It was nice to be back in the same universe as many of her other books, it was like a random meeting with an old friend after a long time.
If you want something fun, spicy and romantic this is a good choice!

I liked it

Wow did not see that twist coming. Good story as ever from L Steele with fantastic narrators.
Didn't like the American language used for English characters set in England (sidewalk not pavement, elevator not lift, etc) I suppose it reaches out to a larger audience though
