Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Lorenzo unlearning revenge and learning vulnerability while Lily refuses to settle is the kind of slow burn payoff that makes you clutch your chest. The OCD rep adds real depth.

Synopsis

The final book in the Lakefront Billionaires series by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Asher. LORENZO Five months. Two people “in love”. One fake relationship with an expiration date. Sounds simple enough. The problem is, Lily Muñoz and I have history. So, when she volunteers to date me so I can improve my public image, I should say no. Our past complicates everything, but since my future depends on her, I agree to her plan. Faking it for the public is expected, but falling in love in private? That isn’t part of our arrangement. LILY Using a dating app sounded like a great idea, up until I discovered Lorenzo Vittori was my match. My sister’s boyfriend hates him. My mom is wary of him. And me? I’ve spent the last year avoiding him. But when my business is threatened, I’m forced into teaming up with Lorenzo to save it. All I need to do is help him win the mayoral election, and he promises to protect my shop. It doesn’t take me long to learn that I’m not cut out for fake relationships, but Lorenzo? He isn’t capable of a real one.

At a Glance

Book 3 of 3 in the Lakefront Billionaires series (series complete). Lorenzo has OCD and the rep is handled with care—he does the work himself, Lily supports without fixing. Fake engagement to win a mayoral election is a fun setup. The billionaire trope is present but grounded by small-town stakes and genuine emotional vulnerability. CWs from the author official page include death of loved ones, OCD depictions, and emotional manipulation (not between MCs). Spicier than the previous books in the series.
