He may be the reason my best friend is dead, and now I'm supposed to marry him... Nikolai Sterling is the golden heir of the Sterling family, captain of the Black Ridge Ravens, and the last person I want anywhere near me. Especially after Ivo Mercer died. Everyone says Ivo killed himself. I know better. When mysterious letters begin appearing, warning me that the Sterlings aren't innocent, I decide to investigate. But then my family announces my engagement to Nikolai. So I make them an offer they can't refuse. Three months, we'll fake-date. We'll convince our families we're falling in love. And if it doesn't work? The marriage is cancelled. Perfect. Except Nikolai agrees too quickly. Because while I'm using our fake relationship to uncover his family's secrets... He's using it to uncover mine. And the closer I get to the truth about Ivo's death, the closer I get to the boy I'm supposed to hate. Now we're pretending to be in love while secretly investigating each other. But there's one problem with fake dating a man you suspect of murder. Eventually, you stop knowing which parts are fake.
