The Venture Capitalist’s Fake Fiancée (The Lakehaven Billionaires #3)

The Venture Capitalist’s Fake Fiancée

Beckett Hale can fix any broken company—just not the love he walked away from. When Lakehaven’s waterfront project buckles under bad press, the board drags the ruthless VC home to steady the ship. The town doesn’t forgive sharks. The only person with enough goodwill to thaw the backlash is the wedding planner whose almost-engagement he wrecked.

Tessa Quinn builds happily-ever-afters for other people. Her rules are no second chances, no staged kisses, and definitely no making the man who left look like a hero. But when a tabloid leak torches the vote and a charity gala needs a headline couple, Tessa and Beck strike a deal—fake fiancées until the marina is saved.

As snowstorms, small-town gossip, and a rival investor turn up the heat, careful lines blur. To win the vote—and each other—they’ll have to choose transparency over spin and trust over fear.
