About the Book:
For a French soccer
icon, and a gifted artist, a fake engagement is the perfect solution for their
current dilemmas. But when last summer’s fling slips from lust to love, their
pretend relationship becomes too hot to handle.
Gabriel DuVernay is heir to one of the oldest wineries in
France, but his passion is playing soccer, not tending vines. When he signs a
multi-million dollar deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy, he’s able to postpone
his unwelcome duties and help his younger sister convince their old-fashioned
father she should be their family’s first female winemaker. Another bonus of
moving to California is reuniting with the striking redhead who snuck out of
his apartment after the hottest night of his life.
Last summer, artist Dylan McNeill’s life on her family’s
Southern California horse-breeding ranch was thrown into chaos and she escaped
to Paris. One electrifying night with a gorgeous playboy athlete helped her
forget her problems. She’s never forgotten Gabriel, but aspiring artists trying
to break into the elite art world don’t have time for romance. She’s determined
to get discovered without trading on her family’s famous name.
When Gabriel suffers a career-shattering injury, he needs to
buy some time to figure out how to remain in America and choose his own future.
His influential mother can open important doors in the art world and help Dylan
fulfill her dreams ––for a price. A fictitious engagement seems like the simple
answer until living at Pacific Vista Ranch and pretending to be in love starts
to feel real.
Can last year’s one night stand and this year’s fake
engagement turn into true love forever?
