The Ex Wager by Nia Arthurs

What they have isn’t love—it’s a bet.

Zaka Lockwood is running from loan sharks and homelessness. So when a super rich stranger asks her to be his fake girlfriend, there’s only one right response: Yes.
Kai Adderley needs her for three months to win a bet.
She’ll smile. Wave. Look at him like he’s her everything without it meaning more.
Easy enough, right?
But she didn’t count on Kai’s caring gestures to weaken her knees.
And she definitely didn’t expect their fake kisses to move from public to private.
Turns out faking a relationship with a crazily gorgeous, somewhat grumpy, and absolutely charismatic hospital director is easy.
Remembering their romance is a lie is much, much harder.
Can what they have survive beyond the wager? Or will it all fall apart when the bet is done?

The Ex Project is a fade-to-black, BWWM fake relationship romance, with a splash of humor, a dash of K-pop and tons of heart, set in the tropical paradise of Belize, Central America.
