“Summary: Fiery redhead Calla Rose has a reputation for being beautiful, broke, and unbearable. Living in a crumbling trailer park but acting like royalty, she's known for her sharp tongue and designer knock-offs. When a public outburst at a gala she snuck into goes viral, billionaire tech mogul Damien Rourke offers her a deal: work for him as a fake fiancée to fix his image-or watch her freedom burn under a hefty lawsuit. As the lines between pretend and passion blur, Damien starts falling for the chaotic mess he swore he'd never touch. But Calla has secrets of her own-including a buried connection to a tragedy in Damien's past. When the truth unravels, can their explosive chemistry survive the fallout?”
