He was the most exhilarating mistake of my life... and now, he's my most daunting challenge. One night was all it took. One scorching encounter with Hugo St-John, a stranger with eyes that promised untold pleasures, ignited a fire in me I couldn't extinguish. I thought, what's the harm in a fleeting tryst? But "fleeting" turned into forever in ways I never imagined. In the light of day, my passionate stranger reveals his true identity – he's Hugo St-John, the enigmatic billionaire and, more shockingly, the estranged brother of my best friend, Ethan. Complications don't end there. Ethan and I are entangled in a web of pretense, masquerading as fiancés for reasons tangled in family drama and personal demons. To the world, we're a perfect couple. To us, it's just an act. But to Hugo, it's a betrayal. From burning desire to icy disdain, Hugo's feelings for me flip overnight. We're thrust into a turbulent saga of love turned to loathing. But fate isn't done with us yet. As I grapple with our twisted circumstances, a new reality settles in, heavier than any drama or deception – I'm pregnant. And the only thing more daunting than Hugo's hatred is the fear of facing it all alone.
