Shameless

The whispers at work were brutal. I was too cold, too ambitious, too career-obsessed to ever land a man.

So, I lied.

I had a boyfriend. A devoted, charming, utterly real boyfriend.

I just… hadn’t met him yet.

Enter Michael Fuller—my best friend’s ridiculously attractive butler. Polished. Sharp-witted. British. Surely, he could use some extra cash? In exchange for a paycheck, he’d play the part. I’d control everything. No surprises.

Easy, right?

Except…

1️⃣ He’s infuriatingly good at this. Too good.

2️⃣ Somehow, I keep spilling my secrets to him.

3️⃣ And those kisses? Definitely not in the contract.

But just when I think I have him figured out, he drops a bombshell.

Michael isn’t just playing pretend—he’s been hiding the biggest secret of all. And when the truth comes out?

Everything I’ve built—my career, my reputation, my heart—could come crashing down.

Breaking up was supposed to be easy. It was all fake, after all.

Until real life stepped in with a surprise I never saw coming… and walking away from him?

Might be the biggest mistake of my life.
