The Invitation: Special Edition (The Brewer Family Series: Special Edition)

About this book

Sparks fly—and not the good kind—when a desperate favor forces two sworn enemies into a high-stakes game of pretend. To save her best friend’s career, the protagonist agrees to film a reality show, only to discover her assigned partner is none other than Ripley Brewer. A billionaire playboy with an ego as massive as his chiseled frame, Ripley is the last person she wants to spend a single second with, let alone a whole season. Bound by a contract and forced to perform for the cameras, the pair must convince the world they are falling in love. The enemies-to-lovers trope reaches a boiling point as their staged affection starts to feel dangerously authentic. Behind the scenes, the bickering gives way to undeniable chemistry; every lingering touch and smoldering look makes it increasingly difficult to remember why they despised each other in the first place. As the lines between scripted romance and genuine desire blur, the facade begins to crumble. She is left questioning whether Ripley is truly just acting or if he is secretly orchestrating their transition from rivals to something much deeper. Will this reality show end in a dramatic breakup, or will they find a real-life happy ending?
