Faked The Fall

by Tessa Quinn

Hoping to Fall · Book 5

It started the night someone followed me home. I was supposed to be helping my client testify— Not running for my life. Rhys Ashford is a billionaire security expert who doesn’t do feelings. But when he saw the threat coming, he didn’t ask. He took me to his estate and said, “We’ll fake it. Tell the world you’re mine. No one touches what’s claimed.” We agreed it was just protection. Just cameras. Appearances. A lie. But then he kissed me. Held me when I broke. And every time he looked at me, it felt less like a cover— And more like the only thing that felt real. Until the photos leaked. The headlines exploded. And he told me it was over… to protect me. So I walked away. And the next time I saw him, he stood in front of the cameras and said— “She doesn’t need my money. She just needed someone who wouldn’t leave. And I’m done pretending that isn’t me.”
