He’s my best friend’s brother.
My billionaire boss.
And now… my fake husband
I walked into his restaurant needing a paycheck.
Now I’m his fake wife.
And if I’m not careful, I might just fall for the man I hate.
James Hamilton is grumpy. Emotionally unavailable. Impossible to reach.
He’s also my best friend’s brother.
The man who broke my heart without even trying.
Now he’s a world-famous chef. Well known for his brilliance.
Working for him is my chance at the career of my dreams.
But when he calls me out in front of his entire staff.
I decide to leave.
But James stops me with an offer I never saw coming.
A marriage of convenience to secure the future of his culinary empire.
In return, he will pay off my debts and help my family.
I should refuse.
Instead, I say yes.
His rules are simple.
This is a contract.
There will be no feelings.
No expectations.
No future.
I agree to keep things strictly professional.
But the longer I share his home and answer to the title of his wife, the harder it is to pretend this is just business.
And when he lets me see the man behind the reputation,
I start to wonder if this fake marriage is the most real thing I have ever known...

The Unwilling Love (The Hamiltons) by L. Steele is HERE!
"It's not the words but the feelings they emote. From the heat of passion to the soul of romance, The Unwilling Love is the start of something new." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)
James Hamilton is a Royal Marine who has seen the darkest parts of the world, and he’s determined to keep Harper away from his shadows. But Harper isn’t looking for a perfect hero—she’s looking for him.
****
James Hamilton is the definition of off-limits. He’s cynical, jaded, and way too protective of his sister’s best friend. But when the air crackles between them, it’s clear his instincts are anything but brotherly.
READ THE EXCERPT: 📖
“He cups my cheek and lowers his head. I close my eyes, tip up my chin, and feel the warmth of his breath on my cheek, on my lips. Then just like that, it’s gone. And so is his touch.
I snap my eyes open, to find him looking at me with a tortured expression in his eyes. 'I can’t, Harper... someone who’d taint your innocence, someone who’d drag you down into the darkness with him. I’m not the man for you.'
'But what if you were?' I swallow. 'What if you were the man I was waiting for.'”
Don't miss this emotionally charged, slow-burn prequel to The Unwilling Bride!
