Harlow Bennett has spent her whole career proving she doesn't need anyone to hand her anything.
When her partnership gets flagged for "further evaluation" days before her boss asks her to play his girlfriend at his cousin's wedding, in exchange for pushing that promotion through, she tells herself it's just a transaction. A performance. Nothing that has to mean anything once the weekend is over.Weston Calloway runs his life the way he runs his company: nothing performed, nothing public, nothing that can be used against him. A succession clause tied to his family's approval, and an uncle circling for any excuse to take the company from him, force his hand. He needs a convincing plus one.
He doesn't expect Harlow to be the first person in years to make him want to stop protecting himself from everything he's afraid of losing.One weekend turns into something else, and a hidden clause, a leaked secret, and a decade of hidden financial strain all come crashing down at once; both of them will have to decide whether what they started together can survive being fully, publicly seen.
