Marked in Red

A Spicy Fake Engagement Romance

I win in court and still cannot pay rent. My father’s treatment is on the desk.

The math does not work.

Chase Preston walks in with a clause: six months as his fiancée on paper, enough money to keep the practice and the man who raised me, and an estate lawyer who has to believe it. I say no. Then I look at the bills. The contract is clean. The practice of pretending is not. Public nights. A house that still smells like his grandmother. A performance that starts as evidence and turns into a mouth I am not paid to want.

When the inheritance clears, leaving is the only honest clause I have left. Unless I rewrite it.
