Bad Night Deal - A Steamy Silver Fox Billionaire Boss Romance with Fake Dating, Secret Baby #988361

He hired her to fake a romance. He never expected the woman he chose to be hiding his son.
Julia Stewart is a struggling single mother trying to rebuild her life after betrayal, humiliation, and one reckless night she has never been able to forget.
Eighteen months ago, during a storm-blackout charity gala, Julia spent one unforgettable night with an older stranger who only gave her one name: Matt. She used her middle name, Grace, and vanished before morning after a family emergency. When she later discovered she was pregnant, she had no last name, no phone number, and no way to find him.
Now Julia has a nine-month-old son, Jonah, a fragile new job at the luxurious Juniper Ridge Resort, and one rule: survive quietly.
Then she meets the resort owner.
Matthew Brooks is not just the silver-templed stranger from that night. He is a billionaire hotel CEO, Julia’s new boss, a divorced single father, and a man fighting to keep custody of his seven-year-old daughter, Sophie.
Matthew needs stability. His ex-wife, Rebecca, is painting him as cold, reckless, and unfit to parent. His board wants him polished, controlled, and scandal-free.
Julia needs protection. Her cheating ex, Ryan Ellis, has arrived at Juniper Ridge with his wealthy fiancée, Megan Harper, ready to humiliate Julia while secretly using the luxury retreat concept he stole from her.
So Matthew makes Julia an offer.
Thirty days.
A fake relationship.
Public appearances only.
No pressure. No promises. No real feelings.
Julia gets the power to stand up to the man who destroyed her career. Matthew gets the family-friendly image he needs to protect his daughter.
But the closer they get, the harder the lie becomes to control.
Because Matthew does not know Julia’s baby has his green eyes.
And when the truth comes out, fake dating turns into a legal storm of custody threats, public scandal, stolen work, old wounds, and a love neither of them can pretend away.
Julia must decide whether to trust the powerful man she once ran from. Matthew must decide whether he can forgive the woman who kept his son from him. And together, they must fight the people determined to turn their family into a weapon.
