THE LIE (Manhattan Nights #6)
READING AGE 16+
ANDREW
Seven years ago, I took off my tux, slapped on a pair of secondhand jeans and walked away from my billion dollar inheritance.
I guess I didn’t walk far enough…
Because yesterday my inheritance came back to me, and in order to claim it, I need to find a fake fiancée to satisfy my family’s billion dollar demands.
That’s where my tyrannical, uptight boss Nancy comes in—a royal pain in the seat of the secondhand jeans I’ve worn since the day I became her bartender.
Truth is: I’ve been lying for seven years.
I figure I can lie for one more weekend.
But what I can’t lie about is how I’ve started to see the usually buttoned-up Nancy in a whole new light.
How I’ve started to notice how sexy she is out of those overly prim pencil skirts. And how much I want to rub my fingers over her strawberry-red mouth.
But I can’t.
Because she’s my boss. Because it’s only a weekend.
And because our pretend relationship—one of many amongst my family’s most dangerous secrets—is only a lie…
Isn’t it?

Epilogue
NANCY
TWO WEEKS LATER
No one ever tells you when you’ve run out of chances.
You think there’d be a warning, some kind of external sign from the universe that your luck was running out.
Maybe a storm cloud. Or a literal kick in the ass.
Something to tell you that time is ticking away.
