From Holt, With Promise: Alternate Paperback

By Brittany Taylor

He was dating me to save his reputation... but it was all a lie.

I've seen the pain love can cause, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake. It's made me swear off love forever, and now I'm more than content living my quiet life in the big city, with my small group of friends.
Until the night my best friend begs me to help with her fundraising auction.

The winning bidder's prize?

A date with me.

But when the highest bidder joins me up on stage to claim what he's now owed, it's more than just his surprising, electric kiss that catches me off guard.
Turns out my date isn't just another big city billionaire.

He's Holt Capuleti.
Owner of Scribe Magazine.
Self-described bachelor.
And my best friend's older brother.

At first, I refuse to follow through with going on a date... until Holt reveals his true intentions. Reluctantly, I agree to play at being his girlfriend, all to turn the focus of the media attention away from his looming lawsuit.
But once the scandal dies down, and the cameras stop pointing in our direction, we still can't seem to keep our mouths and hands to ourselves.

Before I realize what's happened, Holt has managed to break through the walls of my heart, and the longer we keep up the pretense, the more I begin to understand that Holt has secrets of his own-secrets that make him offer me a perfect forever.

But how can I promise him forever in return when I'm not even certain forever exists?
Or if I can ever allow myself to love at all...
