One week. One lie. One fake relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
Betrayed by her boyfriend, best friend, and boss, Sharon Okeke is left both heartbroken and broke. Then she crosses paths with Damien Chuks, the richest and most sought-after bachelor in Nigeria, who makes her an offer too tempting to refuse. To get his parents and the media off his back, Damien needs a girlfriend for a week. And who better than the tipsy woman who poured out her entire life story to him at a bar? But Damien may have a reason of his own for wanting Sharon to play his pretend lover. When the line between real and fake begins to blur, a single week may be enough to set two strangers’ hearts ablaze and to change their not-so-perfect lives for better or worse. Where do the lies end and the truth begin? And will their hearts be strong enough to love beyond the pretence?
I really love this authors, writing style, and the setting that they use for the stories. The inner and outer conflicts that these characters go through is always so engaging and they seem so relatable. There’s also so much chemistry and interesting dynamics between the love interests and other characters as well. Sharon and Damien is no exception to this rule. I love this standalone series and I can’t wait to read more from it and more from this author is a whole.
Favorite Line 🌟 “I find that comparison both amusing and condescending. I’m too wealthy to be a kidnapper.”
“Marriage, if done right, is once in a lifetime. And almost every bride is ecstatic about her special day. I share in that joy with these brides in my little way, knowing I helped make their dreams come true.”
“You always told me to follow my heart. And that’s what I’ve been doing. Right now, my heart is in that kitchen.”
"You don't have to say it back. I love you, and I want you to always know that."
