"Remember me?" I wipe the sleep out of my eyes. Do I remember this woman pounding at my door in the middle of the night? Vaguely, and not in the Biblical way. I recall the roller skates and pig tails of my best friend's younger sister. This woman in front of me is...well...a woman. She wants me to pretend I'm her fiancé at her grandmother's birthday party. In Florida. A road trip is the perfect excuse to miss the meeting where my father will tell me it's time to take over the family company. That's how all six feet of me wound up stuffed into a subcompact next to the nuttiest, most predictably unpredictable, charming, funny, deliciously sexy woman I've ever avoided my obligations with. She's got me managing snacks, sitting in a Cracker Barrel rocking chair, and sharing a cheap hotel room. But falling for her means I'll have to stick to my commitments, because I think I just may love her enough to tie myself down. Now I have to make her believe it before we get home to New York. ----- Check out all the books in the How to Marry a Billionaire series: Easton: The Billionaire's Guide to the Marriage Deal Dylan: The Playboy's Guide to the Fake Fiancee Max: The Alphahole's Guide to Marrying Your Enemy
