Mission Accepted

NiaI’ve spent the last two years beside Dante Ross, my best friend and the man my heart begged me to love. But I never told him. Not because I don’t feel it, but because I can’t imagine a man like him wanting someone like me. Being best friends with the son of the Atlanta Vultures’ owner has taught me a lot - like how to handle a man who’s charming, frustrating and utterly irresistible. As I dig deeper into a government corruption case that threatens everything I believe in, I start uncovering more than just ugly truths about power and control. So when he asks me to be his fake girlfriend, I say yes ... with rules. And these rules can never break, no matter how much Dante tempts me.DanteI’ve loved Nia since the very moment we met. Smart, fierce, and beautiful, she’s the one I’ve been waiting for even if I never let her know that. Pretending to date her was supposed to protect my career, and maybe finally make her see what she means to me. We set rules. We tried to keep our hearts in check, but maybe some feelings aren’t meant to be controlled. Every stolen glance and every heated touch makes the line between fake and real blur. I’ll do whatever it takes to help, protect, and stand beside her-even if it means getting tangled in Atlanta’s mess right along with her. Can we convince the world we’re just pretending, or will this mission reveal feelings that are too powerful to ignore?
