The Version I Built of You by Lucy Rey
He's a billionaire pretending to be ordinary. She's the woman who makes him wish he actually was.

Naomi Atkinson doesn't believe in fairy tales. After her ex called her "serviceable" and said she'd never make it on her own, she's built a career proving him wrong—one pitch at a time. The last thing she needs is a distraction, especially the awkward, annoyingly attractive guy from the café who keeps making terrible jokes about ferns.

Ethan Cole has spent years watching people see his bank account instead of him. So when he meets a woman who doesn't know he runs one of Manhattan's biggest venture capital firms? He keeps his mouth shut. For the first time, someone likes him—not the portfolio.

But secrets don't stay buried in a city this small.

When Naomi discovers the man she's falling for is the same billionaire connected to her biggest account, every kiss feels like a Was any of it real?

And Ethan has to face the truth he's been running from—that the version of himself he built for her might be the only version worth keeping.

A steamy contemporary romance about trust, ambition, and learning that the right person doesn't complete you—they make you want to be complete for yourself.

Can be read as a stand alone!


Perfect for fans of Elena Armas, Lynn Painter, and Ali Hazelwood.
