My smoldering one-night stand in Milan turns out to be my brother’s best friend—and now pretend boyfriend.

I’m an artist who fled my family’s smothering control years ago. Now I’m back in town.

Michael, a billionaire on a business trip with a chiseled jaw and god-like physique, makes me tremble with pleasure.

His heated gaze tells me what he will do to me.

My body became his canvas for the night.

Still tingling from our lustful night, I left him a “Thank you for your time” note.

Imagine my shock, trying to sidestep a relentless suitor at the party.

Mr. Milan waltzes in.

My jaw drops so fast that it can get a speeding ticket.

In a pinch, I grab him and introduce him as my boyfriend.

Now, we’re the vineyard’s hottest gossip.

It turns out Michael is my brother’s best friend, not a fling.

He’s far from pleased about our Milan secret or the boyfriend ruse.

Just when I think I can finally put my brushes down and untangle from this mess,

I discover I’m painting for two.

That’s right—this pretend lover is about to become a real daddy.
