✮ About The Proposal ✮

When I envisioned Zara Logan dropping to her knees in front of me, this wasn’t what I had in mind...

I was expecting a lot less glaring and a lot more moaning.

Instead, she's proposing an enticing deal that I can't bear to walk away from.

To land one of the city’s biggest clients, she wants us to put our differences aside and play fake fiancés for the next thirty days.

So, I slip the diamond ring onto her finger and agree to play the perfect fiancé. How hard can this be?

A hell of a lot harder than I thought...

She’s infuriatingly stubborn and she thinks I’m a cocky jerk with an enormous ego. (She’s right, but I can definitely back it up...)

As our long days stretch into even later nights, it’s getting harder to remember we’re only playing pretend, which means one thing.

She won’t be faking it for long…

The Proposal is a brand-new series from Maya Hughes. Get ready for a fun, fake fiancé romance to kick off the SWANK series.

Caroline's Review

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thoroughly enjoyed this start to a new series!

"The intensity of her emerald gaze sent my blood thrumming through my veins."

Leo Wilder and Zara Logan had an inauspicious first meeting that sets the tone for their association. However, there's no denying the attraction between them. Leo is charming, easy-going, and cocky, while Zara is focused and driven. He's looking for a new career direction and she's looking to ensure her little brother's academic future. As time goes on, their dynamic begins to change, and Zara starts to understand that she doesn't have to go it alone all the time, but can she fully place her trust in Leo, or will he be just another person in her life to let her down?

"I couldn't leave you alone any more than I could stop breathing."

Leo and Zara were sparky, snarky and pretty darn gorgeous together! I must say that they were pretty explosive together. Their chemistry was amazing! I loved that Leo wanted to do thoughtful things for her and make her life easier. Zara seemed really tough but, inside, she was pretty vulnerable and just crying out for support and love. I adored the closeness that grew between them as they began to learn more about the other. I also really enjoyed the introduction to the other SWANK guys and I'm so looking forward to reading their stories.

✮ Excerpt From The Proposal ✮

“You want me to propose to you?” With muscles tense and tight, she stared at me before crossing the room to me in two strides.

“It’ll make a wonderful story to tell if anyone asks. Or we can call the whole thing off and confess, but you’re the one who led us down this path with the relationship talk. Kathleen would probably kick us off the project. Or maybe just you.”

Her gaze narrowed. “Just when I think you’re not a complete asshole. Fine.” The word shot out like a nail gun. Covering her mouth, she mumbled into her hand. “Will you pretend to be my fake fiancé for the next thirty days?”

I cupped my hand around my ear. “That wasn’t exactly romantic and you’re not even on bended knee. Boyz II Men would be disappointed.” I dangled the ring in front of her.

She squeezed her forehead and snatched it out of my hand.

I braced myself for her to fling it straight into my face, but she didn’t. Hiking up the skirt of her suit an inch, she lowered herself to the floor with her gaze trained on mine. The intensity of her emerald gaze sent my blood thrumming through my veins. Her thick eyelashes framed her eyes and the ill wishes she was trying to sear into my brain.

But damn if her sinking to her knees in front of me didn’t flash me into a whole different set of circumstances with her where she wasn’t wishing me dead and I wasn’t trying to steal this project out from under her.

“Leo Charles Wilder, will you please agree to be my fake fiancé for the next thirty days and make me the most miserable woman on earth?” She held out the ring in her palm.

I tapped my finger against my lips and stared up at the ceiling. “When you put it like that…”
