The Wellington Ruse

"Maybe it was simply Will's dark, shrouded past that had her so intrigued. But either way, if Ivy didn't keep reminding herself of the ticking time bomb this ruse really was, she might just slip up and do something stupid-like fall for Will Beckett. Because soon, he would inherit his trust fund and vanish from her life forever." Ivy Cooper is only interested in one thing-getting promoted to manager of Beckett Equestrian Center. From the moment she arrived in the equestrian paradise of Wellington, Florida, Ivy knew earning her place here wouldn't come easy. That is, until an opportunity appears unexpectedly-one that could change everything. Unfortunately for Ivy, that opportunity comes with one major catch: fake dating Will-her billionaire boss's overprivileged, media-scrutinized son-whom she can hardly stand. Will may have begrudgingly agreed to this fake relationship too, but only so he could still inherit millions on his birthday in a few months. Ivy can already tell that fixing Will's currently appalling image in the media-the very reason she was asked to fake-date him-will take more than a few staged appearances among Wellington's elite. But can they really keep up the act long enough to get what they both desperately want? With each fake date, Ivy finds herself uncovering the secret past Will has spent years trying to outrun-and that truth may change everything.
