Deep hazel eyes and a diamond cutting jawline.
He offers me the business deal of a lifetime,
If I play a convincing date forhis ex’sdestination wedding.
But pretending we're smitten is easier said than done.
His devilish smirk and cocky attitude work me up,
Until I can't decide if I want to punch him or kiss him.
Now sharing one room in paradise has me questioning everything.
He’s more than off-limits,
But my heart,and his hands, have a mind of their own.
His fingers grazing my skin sends my body humming,
His mouth has me throbbing in brand new places,
And we’re waking up tangled together, again.
At least on the island, our passion is mutual.
I don’t know if he’ll want “us” in real life.
What Ido knowis he’ll be my brother’sex-best friend.
BecauseI’m pregnant.
ALLY
“I’msorry...”Myvoicetrailed off. “You want me towhat?”
Levi rolled his deep hazel eyes—as if his proposition wasn’t shocking. “You heard me loud and clear, Ally. It’s simple: just come with me to Rachel’s wedding and pretend to be my girlfriend.”
“You have a whole roster of women,” I argued, folding my arms across my small chest. “Give me one good reason why I should accept.”
“I’ll pay you ten thousand dollars.”
“I make twenty times that working as your mom’s CPA,” I threw out, raising an eyebrow at him. “That’s hardly appealing.” I mean, seriously, if my brother’s best friend, who I just so happened toabhor, was going to reel me into playing his girlfriend, it was going to be worth my time.
Period.
“Okay, but you get a free trip to the Caribbean.” Levi let out a frustrated sigh before rubbing his perfectly defined square jaw, dotted with a tinge of black stubble. “What else do you want from me? I need to prove to Frank Lewis that I’ve matured since I was a reckless twenty-two-year-old.”
“Why?” I retorted, shaking my head in confusion. “You can’t seriously tell me you’re still in love with that salty, high-maintenance ex-girlfriend of yours.”
Levi’s jaw tensed, his face filling with irritation. “Why can’t you just accept the offer? Younevergo on vacation, Ally. I figured you’d accept just for that reason alone. I need someone I can trust—and who has their shitmostlytogether. You’re the best option I have.”
“Wow, I think that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me.” I feigned a smile, batting my thick eyelashes at him. “So if it’s not to win Rachel back and crash the wedding, then why do you need to prove to Frank that you’re a grown-ass acting man?”
Which we both know is a lie.
“He’s selling CyberSecure, and Ineedto get my hands on that company. I’ve been watching it for years, and it’s finally my chance to make a name for myself outside of the Lombardi family trust.”
I pursed my lips, studying his face for a few long moments. His patience was waning, but playing with his impatience was more than amusing for me. We’d never gotten along—mostly because he was an arrogant asshole who hated the world ninety-nine percent of the time...
