Surely this can't be the only solution to overhaul my tarnished rep - faking a romance with the good girl intern?

But that's what my agent says. Just a few months of taming my ways-of shedding Formula 1's party boy image-will land me a lifetime branding deal. One I desperately need.

The key condition?

Pretend I'm madly in love with my new girlfriend. The quiet wallflower who I figured wouldn't put me in my place. Yeah. This girl is anything but that.

Maddix Hart is defiant and intelligent. Loyal and real. Determined and sexy. And damn it to hell, before I know it, she's in my head, in our bed . . . and if I'm not careful, she'll see there's more to me than the man I show the public. She'll discover the man I hide from the world. The one who struggles to live up to the unrealistic expectations that should never have been mine.

All I have to do is make sure no one sees the truth behind our farce.

But instead, I let my heart get involved. I begin to believe the lie. And now with everything on the line-the deal, a championship, us-am I willing to risk it all to make her see what the rest of the world believes? That we belong together.
