Annabelle couldn’t sleep.

All she could think about was that kiss. The way Hudson’s hands felt all over her body. And the fact that he was sleeping next door. Was he thinking of her, too?

She sat up after hours of tossing and turning and stepped out onto the porch. She wrapped a blanket around her shoulders and settled down on the swing overlooking the waves. The tide was coming in as the sun began to rise, and Annabelle felt that the turbulent crashing of the waves mirrored her own heart.

What was she doing?

She’d come here hoping to get answers for her cousin, but had ended up getting her own life and emotions tangled up in a huge mess in the process.

Hudson wasn’t at all the man she’d expected him to be. He wasn’t some cold and heartless billionaire playboy. He was kind and funny and he loved his family with such passion, it made her heart ache.

But none of that changed the fact that this was all pretend.

Maybe he wanted to make love to her, but that didn’t mean he wanted her in his life in any permanent way. She’d barely been able to maintain control back there in his study, and if she hadn’t gotten out of there when she did, who knows what might have happened between them. Things were complicated enough without adding sex to the equation.

Still, there was no denying their physical attraction. The more she got to know him, the stronger that attraction grew. How would she survive the next few days of reporters and events, much less potentially months of pretending to be engaged to him?

Tomorrow night was the end of summer bonfire, and everyone would be scrutinizing their every touch. Reporters would be asking questions, and all eyes would be on them as a couple.

Annabelle wasn’t sure she could handle it. Not with all this unspoken tension between them.

She had lied to him.

There was no coming back from that. No redeeming herself. But if they were going to be crashing into this wall of desire every time they were together, she had to deal with it one way or another.

Maybe she just needed to tell him the truth.

The thought of it made her stomach knot, but what choice did she have?

Would he still go through with the announcement at the charity ball next weekend? Or would he call the whole thing off?

He would probably hate her when he found out the truth, but he would hate her more if she slept with him first, knowing their future was doomed.

Annabelle resolved herself to tell him.

Tomorrow night after the bonfire, she would find a way to confess her role in those photographs. And hope that somehow, he would be able to forgive her.
