Daphne

My life looks like a dream, and for the most part it is. I work with my best friends as a tattoo artist and run my art school foundation for underprivileged children on the side. But something has always been missing.

I’ve been keeping a secret… Hi, I’m Daphne Barkley, and I’m a twenty-six-year-old virgin.

Growing up the daughter of a senator, it was hard to trust people. That isn’t the only reason I’m a virgin, though. I met the man of my dreams at nineteen, and all other guys since have failed in comparison.

Imagine my surprise when none other than Ezra Winters is in my tattoo chair, proposing to be my fake boyfriend, effectively saving me from my mother’s matchmaking. There’s a million reasons why I should say no, but Ezra makes it impossible.

Being the CEO of a thriving tech company, along with my foundation to teach children technology, is my dream turned into reality. Yet of late, my life seems lackluster at best.

My parents and my board want me to find a good girl and settle down, but everyone in the upper elite circles is disingenuous.

Well, almost everyone. I met Daphne Barkley seven years ago, and she dazzled me to the point that I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind. Not a single woman has come close to making me feel the way she does.

When I land in her tattoo chair and find out we’ll be attending the same fundraiser, I make an offer she can’t refuse. It may be fake dating to her, but I’m playing for keeps.
