Nate Archer
One spark turned my world upside down.
I had it all mapped out: close the deal and take my company to the next level.
But when that picture went viral, every shred of credibility I had went up in flames.
My only shot at fixing it?
A deal with Vivienne Brown—the last person who’d ever want to save me, and the only one who could.
The rules were clear—play the part and don’t catch feelings.
But with every lie and every stolen glance, resisting her became a war I was destined to lose.
Vivienne Brown
Two run-ins with the man I never wanted to see again.
My plan was simple: keep my head down and finish my PhD.
But when my lab’s funding disappeared overnight, everything I’d worked for was about to crumble.
Just like that, Nate Archer was back with a proposal I couldn’t refuse.
Help him fix his reputation, and he’d give me the lifeline I needed to save my research.
It should’ve been straightforward. Transactional. Safe.
Until I fell for the man tied to everything I lost.
