Billionaire Grump

<p><strong>Juno</strong></p><p>When I'm late for a job interview and get stuck on an elevator with an annoyingly sexy Ancient Rome-obsessed grump the last thing I expect is for him to be the billionaire owner of the building. I also don't expect to almost kill him... accidentally of course.</p><p><br></p><p>Sure I don't get the plant care position I applied for but I do receive an interesting offer.</p><p><br></p><p>Lucius needs to trick the public (and his grandma) into thinking he's in a relationship and I need tuition money to get my botany degree. Our arrangement is mutually beneficial-that is until I start catching feelings.</p><p><br></p><p>If being a cactus lover has taught me anything it's that if you get too close there's a good chance you'll end up hurt.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Lucius</strong></p><p>Post-elevator incident I'm left with three things: my favorite water bottle full of pee a life threatening allergic reaction and paparazzi photos of my girlfriend and I that make my Gram the happiest woman alive.</p><p><br></p><p>Naturally my next step is to blackmail-I mean convince-this (admittedly cute) girl to pretend to date me. That way my grandma stays happy and as a bonus I can keep the gold diggers at bay.</p><p><br></p><p>Unfortunately my arch nemesis a.k.a. biology kicks in and the whole not getting physical part of our agreement becomes increasingly hard to abide by. Worse yet the longer I'm with Juno the more my delicately crafted icy exterior melts away.</p><p><br></p><p>If I'm not careful Juno will tear down my walls completely.</p>
