**Book three in the all-new series of small-town slow-burn standalone novels by international bestselling author, Lisa Shelby.** Emmett Ford is over the monotony of her small-town life, and her best friend turned Hollywood heartthrob Josh West is struggling to keep his hard-earned career afloat. Could a childhood pact hold the answer to both their problems? Josh could use a fake fiancé, and the glitz and glamor of LA would certainly scratch Emmett’s itch for a break from the mundane. Besides, two years on the arm of America’s most eligible bachelor with a diamond the size of Texas on her finger won’t exactly be a hardship. But there’s a dark side to the limelight that comes with being his plus one. A string of death threats leads them to hire bodyguard Max Hopper. Handsome, with a stoic disposition and the build of a lumberjack he threatens to complicate an already fragile situation. Suddenly, two years feels like a lifetime.
