Italian Escape with Her Fake Fianc?/A Year with the Millionaire Next Door [Paperback] Wallace, Barbara and Pembroke, Sophie

Two romance novels in one paperback — both set against European backdrops where fake relationships become inconveniently real. In *Italian Escape with Her Fake Fiancé*, a woman agrees to pose as her boss's fiancée during a Italian business trip, only to find the Mediterranean sun isn't the only thing heating up. Sophie Pembroke's *A Year with the Millionaire Next Door* follows a proposition with an expiration date: twelve months of pretend coupledom that neither party expects to want beyond the contract. Both stories lean into the delicious tension of "we're just pretending" colliding with actual chemistry. Perfect for readers who love the fake dating trope, swoony European settings, and the moment when characters realize they've stopped acting. If you devoured *The Hating Game* or anything by Emily Henry, this double dose of romantic escapism will hit the spot.
