Bedding The Fake Boyfriend — Virna DePaul

In high school, Gio Esposito was the handsome charmer every girl wanted and Rose Whitman couldn't believe he chose her. Then she discovers Gio isn't the man she thought he was and lets him go. Fifteen years later, Gio donates $10,000 to her charity, no strings attached. Maybe she was wrong about Gio all those years ago, but she can't risk being hurt again.

Something went wrong for Gio and Rose, something he still doesn't understand, and he's determined to get answers. So Gio makes Rose an offer she can't refuse -- he'll donate an additional $100,000 to Rose's charity if she poses as his girlfriend at his sister's New England destination wedding.

Soon, Rose is enjoying lobster, lighthouses, and laughter with Gio and his quirky family. She's also questioning why she ever let Gio go. Will Gio convince Rose that he's a man worth fighting for? And will Rose give Gio not just the answers he craves, but a second chance to win her heart?
