A woman who believes love should be simple. A man who hides everything he is. One lie that brings them together - and one truth that might tear them apart. Emily has never been the type to ask for fairytales. She grew up in a house where money filled every corner but affection never did, so she learned early that the best kind of love is the kind built on simple moments, honest words, and steady hearts. She wants a quiet life, a real chance, and a partner who chooses her not because of what she has, but because of who she is. Gabriel has lived the opposite life. Wealthy. Wanted, but not loved.…mehr
A woman who believes love should be simple. A man who hides everything he is. One lie that brings them together - and one truth that might tear them apart. Emily has never been the type to ask for fairytales. She grew up in a house where money filled every corner but affection never did, so she learned early that the best kind of love is the kind built on simple moments, honest words, and steady hearts. She wants a quiet life, a real chance, and a partner who chooses her not because of what she has, but because of who she is. Gabriel has lived the opposite life. Wealthy. Wanted, but not loved. Exhausted. After forty-seven failed blind dates and one too many women who cared more about the size of his bank account than the shape of his heart, he does something he never expected - he becomes someone else. He hides his name, his money, his entire world, hoping to meet one person who sees him without the polished surface. And somehow, on a rainy night and a blind date he almost skipped, he meets her. Emily thinks he is just another man trying his best in a hard life. Gabriel thinks she is the first person who has ever spoken to him like he is human. Their connection is quiet but strong, sweet but uncertain, and it pulls them into a sudden marriage that neither of them planned for - and both of them need more than they will admit. But secrets do not stay quiet forever. As their small, shaky life grows into something warm and frighteningly real, the truth waits at the door: the lie that Gabriel used to protect his heart may be the very thing that breaks hers. And when the truth finally comes to light, they must decide whether love can survive being scarred... or whether some hearts stay broken when the wrong truth arrives at the wrong time. Full of slow-burn tenderness, messy honesty, small comforts, big fears, and the kind of love that has to be fought for, this book asks one question: Can two people build something real on a truth that came too late?
Nicole Ashton writes love stories that feel like movies - full of emotion, slow tension, and the kind of moments that stay with you long after the last page. Her stories often begin with heartbreak and end with healing, exploring how people find love again after losing it, and how one unexpected moment can change everything. She believes love stories don't have to be perfect to be powerful - they just have to feel real. Whether it's two people pretending not to care, someone coming back from the past, or a lie that turns into something true, Nicole writes about the quiet, messy, beautiful parts of falling in love. Her books include They Said It Was Fake, Borrowed for Revenge, and The Ten Dollar Boyfriend - each one a cinematic journey of emotions, second chances, and the complicated ways people find their way back to each other. When she's not writing, Nicole loves getting lost in films, long walks that turn into daydreams, and quiet coffee shops where she builds the worlds her characters live in. She writes for anyone who still believes love can surprise them - even when they've stopped looking for it.
