Fifteen years ago, Declan Ashford left without saying goodbye.
Now he’s a billionaire CEO under fire after a viral meltdown—and I’m the safety consultant hired to inspect his mountain resort.
After losing my husband in a preventable construction accident, I built my career exposing companies that cut corners.
Declan built his empire on control.
When photos of our unexpected reunion go viral, they don’t show the tension.
They show us looking like we’re still in love.
The internet decides I’m a planted actress hired to soften his image.
My credibility is suddenly on the line.
His PR team offers the only solution that protects us both:
Make the romance look real.
Public dates.
Carefully staged affection.
No real feelings.
No reopening old wounds.
Then a blizzard traps us together.
My six-year-old son decides Declan is his hero.
The press starts rooting for our “second chance.”
And every fake kiss feels less like strategy… and more like temptation.
He says he never stopped loving me.
I say fifteen years of silence doesn’t disappear because the cameras are watching.
But when the headlines fade and the cameras turn off, we’ll have to decide what we’re protecting—
our reputations…
or our hearts.
Grumpy Billionaire’s Fake Girlfriend is a steamy second-chance romance featuring:
- Fake dating for PR
- A brooding billionaire fighting to reclaim his narrative
- A fierce widow who doesn’t compromise
- Forced proximity
- High heat and emotional payoff
- Guaranteed HEA
