Between Never and Forever: A Best Friend's Brother Fake Engagement Romance (Hardy Billionaires)

Dex Hardy, my best friend's brother, was always my downfall.
He was older, forbidding, and completely irresistible.
Our paths were never meant to cross, but on a summer night under the stars, when we exchanged the words "I love you," we became irrevocably linked.
In secret.
He knew he had to.
But the moment he made it public, he betrayed our relationship. So I left him in disappointment to save us both.

A few years later, to help my family financially, I signed a six-month contract to perform inside the Black Diamond Resort and Casino. It was supposed to be easy.
But Dex Hardy is now the ruthless billionaire who owns the resort.
And he wants revenge.
When he finds out I have a ring on my finger, he makes a deal with me:
To leave the man I am with and get engaged to him instead. Or else.
I've been calling Dex my fiancé for six months: ...... Even if he stares at me with hard eyes.
To ignore his electric touch and pretend I don't love him: ...... Even though I still love him. ......

The problem with faking this engagement is that I am beginning to believe it.
