I hired a gorgeous man to be my date at a big fancy family event. It was supposed to be strictly business. Feelings didn’t have to come into play. But it’s impossible for any girl to resist Archer’s charm. Even for a geeky girl like me. He’s a struggling actor in search of a director. Part of me thinks that he’s just using me for my family’s connections. But I see love in his eyes, and lust in … connections.
But I see love in his eyes, and lust in his touch.
Being wrong about him would cost me my heart.
So, what happens when I find out the secret he’s been hiding back home?
Is he going to choose me… or the stardom that he’s chasing after?

Epilogue
I look forward to reading the other books in this series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC.
Archer Carleson sees life as a series of transactions. Someone does something for him and they expect something in return and vise versa. Annabelle Winter hires him through Gentlemen, Inc. to be her escort to her parents’ annual party so that her family won’t pity her because she’s short, curvy, and nerdy instead of tall, thin, and beautiful like her sisters. Their relationship starts out as a transaction and Archer kept saying to himself that she wasn’t his type, but he wanted Annabelle to feel like she is beautiful on the outside and that whatever guy she is with should be focused on her and not trying to get with her sisters. Annabelle starts to believe it and fall for Archer when a series of misunderstands threatens to tear them apart. Cute romance about a nerdy graduate student and a struggling actor. Being a nerd and unsure of myself I loved that Annabelle was too. Her sisters Brianna and Carina were great and deserve their own stories.
Archer and Annabelle are a great couple and even though they have an unconventional beginning they get their happy ending. This book is full of great strong women characters and I look forward to more of this series.
