BLURB:

Since when does being single suddenly mean Rome Venuccio is incapable of running his own business? Unless he can prove he’s family orientated, he runs the risk of losing the one thing he’s spent most of his life pouring his blood, sweat, and tears into. But not just any woman can pull off this fake relationship; she needs to pretend to be in love with him, and there’s no time to train someone for the role.

As the clock starts to run down, Rome turns to the one person who he can trust. Enter Florence Liu-Savino, Rome’s younger brother’s best friend. She’s the perfect person to help the Venuccios seal this deal. Too perfect. And also, completely off limits. But she just might work out exactly as he planned. And when all this is done, she might see him as more than just her best friend’s older brother.

One problem: Dr. Florence Liu-Savino doesn’t do love. In fact, she’s completely sworn off love. If only Rome wasn’t the sole person to make her question her rule: do not fall for anyone; the pain isn’t worth it. Especially if it could cost you your friendship. But when the fake relationship starts to feel real, Florence starts to wonder if it might be worth it after all.

Will Florence risk it all to fall in love? Or will she lose her closest friend in the process?
