Description

She’s got thirty days to prove love exists—he’s got thirty days to prove it’s a scam.

Fitz Ramirez built his consulting empire on cold logic and zero emotional attachments. Now conservative investors are threatening his biggest merger because his playboy reputation makes him a “brand risk.” His solution? Let Chicago’s most famous love coach try to transform him on camera for thirty days, then expose her methods as pure fantasy on his podcast. Easy money, guaranteed failure.

Relationship coach Blaire Connelly is one scandal away from losing everything when her vengeful ex threatens to destroy her questionable credentials. Her only shot at salvation: publicly prove her methods work by turning the city’s most notorious commitment-phobe into relationship material. If she fails, her career is over. If she succeeds, she saves everything she’s built.

What starts as mutual professional destruction becomes something far more dangerous when their filmed lessons turn into heated arguments, stolen glances, and undeniable chemistry. Every coaching session blurs the line between performance and reality. Every touch makes their fake vulnerability terrifyingly real.

Now Blaire is risking her last chance on the man determined to humiliate her, and Fitz is falling for the woman whose job is to crack him open. With cameras rolling and everything on the line, they’ll have to choose between their safe, cynical scripts—or bet it all on love.

This Contemporary Spicy Romantic Comedy romance includes:

• Enemies to lovers with verbal sparring
• Forced proximity through intensive coaching sessions
• Opposites attract—optimist meets cynic
• Commitment-phobe hero meets his match
• Lessons trope with steamy complications

Spicy heat—perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Meghan Quinn, and Samantha Young.
