"Ava Rani creates the perfect mix of romance and drama!" - People
To make her ex jealous, an ambitious young surgeon recruits a charming star soccer player to be her date to a lavish Parisian wedding-but love might have a game plan of its own, in this stand-alone romance from the USA Today bestselling author of the Biotech Billionaires series.
Dr. Isabelle Mercado is this close to having it all. Top of her class at the country's most competitive orthopedic surgery residency, a dream career within reach, and a golden ticket to the wedding of the year in Paris.
There's just one problem: her ex-the one who got away-is going to be there... with his perfect new fiancée.
Desperate to save face (and maybe spark a little jealousy), Isa enlists soccer legend and global heartthrob Austin Cade to be her fake date. It's the perfect match: after an injury and some unfortunate encounters with the press, he needs good PR and the kind of elite connections this wedding will attract. Plus, her ex just so happens to be his #1 fan. Win-win.
But between champagne toasts, macaron baking classes, and stolen glances under the Parisian stars, pretending starts to feel a lot like the real thing. Isa's always been all-in on her career-love was never the goal.
But maybe, just maybe... this time, the heart has its own agenda.
