From the Back Cover

She said she would never help him. He said it would only be pretend. They were both very wrong. Luna Star and Carter Harrington are opposites in every way possible. He is tall, charming, and powerful. She is quiet, creative, and convinced she wants nothing to do with him. But when Carter needs a fake wife to seal the most important business deal of his life, Luna finds herself saying yes for reasons she cannot quite explain. What starts as a simple arrangement quickly turns into shared rooms, late nights, and feelings neither of them expected. And the more time they spend pretending, the harder it becomes to remember what is real.
