Description:
When her internship turns out to be a scam, a desperate American in Greece agrees to fake date an equally desperate bad boy prince who she can't stand in this glittering, enemies-to-lovers rom com by a debut author, perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn.
Scammed out of her dream internship. Nearly run over by a royal entourage. Things can't get much worse for Grace Curtis, who just wanted to enjoy her summer abroad. . .
Grace's idea of paradise? The clear blue skies and glittering seas of Greece. Or so she thought. When her perfect summer becomes a perfect nightmare, Grace is desperate to stay. She came to Greece to honor her mom's last wish, and she needs to see it through.
Prince Dimitri has finally pushed his royal title to the limit. Stuck in a whirlpool of bad press following the death of his older brother, he's about to lose any chance at calling himself King unless he gets married. But the broody bad boy locked his heart away long ago, with no plans of sharing the key.
That is, until he nearly runs Grace over during a daring escape from the paparazzi, blasting them onto the front page of tabloids everywhere. Thrown into a whirlwind fake engagement, the two must appear head-over-heels for the cameras, or risk losing everything they think they want.
But when a moment of connection around love and loss leads to confusion behind the scenes, suddenly their futures aren't so clear. As real feelings blossom beneath the act, they must decide, when the camera flashes fade, are they really still pretending?
