From New York Times bestselling author Krista Lakes comes a sexy standalone novel about a billionaire and the indecent proposal he gives the local barista.
Billionaire CEO Jackson Weathers needs a family for a PR boost, and I’ve signed a contract agreeing to give him one. A doting girlfriend in public. A wedding ceremony to invite all the socialites to. And finally, a baby for him to parade … parade around, to show he’s really a wholesome, down-to-Earth man.
I’ve tried to remain cynical about it. He’s going to make all my dreams come true. So what if it’s supposed to be a loveless marriage?
Only, his tenderness in private has me hooked. The way he kisses me drives me wild. When we make love, I lose myself to him. His body feels like it was meant to be on top of mine, like we fit together like two puzzle pieces. I can’t help but begin to fall for him.
I can’t tell him, or I risk losing everything. And nobody else can find out about our little “arrangement” or it will destroy his reputation. Still, I feel like I have to know how he feels, before the marriage, before the baby, before I give my entire life over to him.
Is it still just pretend?

FANTASTIC!
A sexy sweet read that grabs hold of you keeping you energized with a non-stop bundle of exciting fun filled twists that will have you steam rolling through the pages! Intense, entertaining, enjoyable, thrills, heartfelt and passion filled chemistry! An exciting must read!
Yep. This will probably always be one of my favorite themes no matter how many times or how many different ways I get to read it. Because I know that what starts out as a fake relationship isn’t going to stay that way for long and that “fake” is going to come back and bite them in the butt. I loved seeing the instant spark between Jackson and Emma. And I think that spark just about shorted out my reader, it’s so intense. The slightly sarcastic banter between them is probably my favorite thing in the whole book.

Feel good romance of barista Emma and billionaire Jackson, who needs to clean up his womanising image. Emma is a real, down-to-earth bubbly woman who has aspirations that have been postponed for financial reasons. Jackson likes women-for a night-but it’s not like that with Emma, who served him coffee daily for over a year. They have an easy, flirty relationship, which they maintain throughout the story. It’s hard living in the spotlight and Jackson is not used to making an effort with women but he will choose to do things for Emma that he has never done before. Worth a read.

The best laid plans, right? Jackson has dug himself into a PR nightmare. He’s enjoyed his playboy lifestyle – no strings, a different girl every night – but it’s not the best image for the CEO of a baby company. After this last stunt, his board of directors wants to fire him from his own company! His public relations expert told him the only way out of this mess is to marry a nice, sweet woman & have a baby. Of course, his mind goes straight to Emma.
Emma is working as a barista in the coffee shop in Jackson’s building. She’s trying to work her way out of the mountain of debt she’s in so she can go back to college. She enjoys the light hearted flirtation she has going with Jackson but she knows she isn’t his type. When he approaches her with a way she can get out of debt, she jumps at it. Can they really keep this light & businesslike?
I like Emma’s character. She doesn’t let anything get her down. She does begin to feel bad about the arrangement & wonder what her mother would have thought of it. Jackson is selfish & appears arrogant but never treats Emma like that. The chemistry & feelings nag between them are apparent from the beginning & you can sense them growing stronger. I like that Emma holds Jackson accountable & doesn’ give in to him because he has money. This was a very enjoyable read!
Very good book. Loved the story and the happy ending. It had a good dramatic twist that had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I will definitely read more books by this author. Once I started this book, there was no putting it down. I can only assume the rest of her novels will be the same way! Can’t wait!!!

I loved this story and found it hard to put down once I started. The billionaire and the barista will make you smile and you’ll love their back and forth banter. Jackson, serial playboy and, heir to the family business needed a PR makeover. What better solution than a wife and a baby since the family business is baby products. A deal with Emma for an arranged marriage and a baby is struck. What happens does fake become real? Chemistry that’s off the charts and compatibility play into the picture. A great read that I read as a reader copy and voluntarily chose to review.
I love this series so far. Krista Lynn is by far one of the best authors I have read. The Billionaire Series is absolutely amazing. Jackson is the CEO of a diaper company who needs to improve his playboy ways. Emma is a regular down to earth woman. Emma works in the coffee shop in Jacksons building. If you want to know more than you need to buy the book. I highly recommend this book.
Author, Krista Lakes has written a modern love story about Jackson the billionaire who wants to salvage his reputation by entering into a marriage of convenience to Emma the barrister. However, what’s different in this story is that Jackson never comes across as cold as some billionaire’s do in similar storylines which I found refreshing. These two people really liked each other. Of course there was a weasel of an antagonist stirring things up to test the relationship.
I liked this story and am recommending this book. The storyline was well developed and the chapters flowed effortlessly.

I was looking forward to reading this after enjoying the first book so much – and I wasn’t disappointed.
It had drama, sweetness and some hot as hell sex scenes.
The characters were fascinating and their chemistry was off the charts.
I’m a sucker for a good HEA and this book delivered that perfectly.
Jackson is my new BBF, so hands off ladies!
