About this ebook
Trace and Eva's story:
My name is Eva Morales, and I was one step away from being homeless when Trace Walker came into my life. I want to hate him because of my past, but I end up making what I consider a "devil's bargain" with the arrogant young billionaire instead. Really, I have no choice. It's either take the work he's offering or starve, and I've been hungry long enough.
I didn't think being his fake fiancee for the holidays would be a difficult job, but it ends up more complicated than I ever imagined, and I see a whole new side of Trace once he lets his guard down. He's haunted by his past--just like me, But there are things I can never tell him, secrets I don't dare reveal.
Eventually, I find myself in a difficult situation because our volatile attraction to each other won't be denied. Should I tell him the truth, or do I finish the job he's paying me for and walk away with my secrets still hidden, my pride still intact? He's paying me enough for this job to take care of myself once it's over. I've always been alone, and I always thought I preferred it...until I met Trace. I'd have to put everything on the line to be honest with him, but he very well might be the first man who is worth the risk. Honestly, I'd be endangering more than just my pride. I could handle feeling like a loser, because I've pretty much felt that way my entire life. What really terrifies me is being vulnerable and the possibility of ending up with a shattered heart....
This book is not intended for anyone under the age of 18.

OMG!! J. S. Scott did a superb job on writing Trace and Eva’s story. The Billionaire who lost a lot and the girl from the other side of the tracks. A wonderful story love, trust, passion and forgiveness rolled into a one fantastic read. Trace had to take care of his two brothers after losing his father and buried all his emotions inside him. Eva, broken and struggling to find the next meal goes to Trace’s office to ask for a job. Trace ask Eva to become his fake fiancée until after Christmas as a short-term job and he will provide half the money upfront and all the other items she may need. Eva hesitate, but has no other options left, so she accepts. Trace sees life differently through Eva’s eyes and Eva brings out the alpha side of Trace. Can the past hurts be forgiven and forgotten? I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a HEA with the sexy hot passionate scenes that J. S. Scott’s writes. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. Go 1-click Release as you won't regret it, I was given a complementary copy for an honest review.

Wow!!! This book give me the feels. I laughed, I cried, I smiled. I was hooked from start to finish. Trace needs a fiance for christmas and when Eva walks into his office and asks for a job, he has just the one in mind. The attraction between them is instant however the relationship builds and builds. Eva has been hurt and isnt sure how to open her heart, Trace has shut off his emotions and took his role as the leader of the family. when these two get together they begin to learn to feel again and soon two hearts are healed together. Completely fantastic and highly recommended

If u have read any of her other books the u already know a little of what's going on, if u have not then u must do so know.. Xander is the youngest Sinclair and Omg, he is someone u hate but love.. Well it's not him u will have but his choices.. He is one that need to find himself again. Will he be able to in time or will he go back to the bad CHOICES .. Samantha is full of the surprises that will make u want to squeeze or love her.. See has her own reasons for helping Xander but are they for the right reasons?? Will she see past her own fears and hurts? This is 100% a must read.. By far my favorite book in this series that I will read again and again. lol, again yes it's that good.
