He was used to getting what he wanted-and who he wanted. Emily Chessington, however, the object of his desires, isn't impressed. But she does need a boyfriend. Someone who can survive her image-obsessed mother and the suffocating expectations of her world. Jeremy? Perfect candidate. He agrees to fake date her, telling himself it's temporary, that he can control it, that he can make her fall in love with him, that he will keep his jealousy in check. Spoiler alert: he doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e What begins as a lie becomes obsession. Pretense becomes proximity. Proximity becomes devotion.
