The Scandalous Agreement: A Friends To Lovers, Fake Engagement Romance by Jevon Meer

I’m fake‑engaged to my grumpy CEO… and the brother who just walked back into my life is my ex. Tell me why my life suddenly feels like a cinematic disaster.

I come to Los Angeles to disappear, not to fall into the orbit of Dominic Reeves — my cold, brilliant, impossible‑to‑read boss who looks at me like I’m the only person he trusts.

He shouldn’t. Not if he knew the truth I’ve been running from.

But then his studio starts collapsing, and one reckless lie turns into the deal that traps us together: I’m his “serious girlfriend,” the woman who can save his reputation.

Suddenly I’m in his world — the cameras, the dinners, the heat simmering between us — and I’m losing the ability to pretend any of it is fake.

Then his younger brother shows up. My ex. The one who broke me so badly I still flinch at the memory.

And Dominic has no idea.

Somewhere between the unexpected kiss, the night we’re forced to share one bed, and the way he softens only for me, I fall for him.

But my past is a ticking bomb. And when it detonates, I won’t just lose him — I might destroy him.
