My job: Transform the ruthless billionaire playboy. His goal: Break me instead. Four weeks. Two liars. One inevitable destruction.
I've spent my entire life being exactly who I am: Ryder Sinclair, billionaire bad boy who'd rather race Ferraris with European royalty than sit through another board meeting. Until my father delivers an ultimatum that changes everything.
Display "sincerity and respectability" in four weeks or lose the Sinclair empire. All of it.
Enter Elliot Perry-lifestyle therapist, professional babysitter to spoiled trust fund babies, and the most infuriatingly composed woman I've ever met. She's supposed to transform me into the perfect heir. Make me respectable. What a joke.
Except she refuses to help me fake it.
She wants real change. Real growth. Real everything. And suddenly I'm trapped in her downtown apartment for "immersive therapy"-her fancy term for forced proximity torture. She controls my schedule, my contacts, even my damn wardrobe.
But here's what neither of us counted on: the way she bites her lip when she's fighting her attraction to me. The way I've started wanting her approval more than my father's money. The way "fake it till you make it" became "fake it till you break her rules."
Four weeks. That's all we have before I have to face my family and prove I'm a changed man. The problem? Somewhere between her brutal honesty and those stolen moments when our professional boundaries blur, I stopped pretending.
She's turning me into someone I never wanted to be-someone who could actually deserve her.
But Elliot has secrets of her own about why she really took this job. And when the truth comes out, I'll have to decide what matters more: the billionaire empire I was born to inherit, or the woman who taught me that being real is worth more than all the money in the world.
Some transformations can't be faked. And some hearts are meant to be broken.
