Three events. Five thousand dollars. One fake relationship that feels way too real.

Sophia Weber has been her boss’s perfect assistant for three years—organized, professional, and secretly attracted to him. So when CEO Nathan Drake offers her $5,000 to be his fake girlfriend for a week of Christmas events, she says yes. It’s just business, right?

Wrong.

Between the stolen kisses for his mother’s benefit, the private shopping trips, and the nights that end in his penthouse, the lines between fake and real blur fast. But Nathan has been married to his work for all his life, and Sophia knows better than to fall for a man who’s paying her to pretend.

When the week ends and she walks away, will he let her go? Or will he finally fight for what he really wants?

A scorching boss/assistant fake dating short story romance with age gap, workplace tension, and a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for fans of forbidden office romance with serious heat!
