The Boyfriend Agreement by Vivian August

The agreement sounds straightforward: fake a relationship for three months. He needs the money, and I need the world to forget that I used to be Geneva St. John, certified hot mess. Yeah, way easier said than done.
After years of being roasted in every tabloid out there, I don’t want to deal with anyone besides my supermodel mother, my best friend, and my cat. I worked really hard to create a normal, private life after I crashed and burned out of Hollywood seven years ago — emphasis on private — and I want to keep it that way.
But after a betrayal thrusts me back into the press again, I have to fix my reputation and my relationship with the one parent I have left. Unfortunately, that means fake dating my former co-star Julien Rossi so people won’t think I’m a homewrecker.
The Julien I knew was the perfect fit for the role of the awkward-looking nerd, but now he’s easily hot enough to be on the cover of GQ. And he has been — three times, to be exact. With a glow-up that major, there’s no way he’s the same sweet guy I was friends with ten years ago.
Yet he is, and so much more.
My resolve to never open my heart again weakens the longer our scheme goes on. But I also come face to face with the deeper reason why he agreed to doing this — reasons that could ruin this whole plan and break my heart if he doesn’t face his past.
