✮ 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.

✮ My Review ✮

This book was swoony, sweet and so much fun to get lost in! I adored the feud between Zara and Leo. Zara has a lot riding on the work project she has been assigned to. Zara has been focused on her brother and is busting her tail to give him the best life. When the biggest deal of her career is hanging in the balance, drastic measures must be taken.  I LOVE a good fake fiance, don't you?! Nothing brings people together better. And that was definitely true for Leo and Zara. I liked how they balanced each other out and the chemistry between them was H-O-T-T! I also liked the relationship between Leo and his friends. They were different and had some differences, but they were there for each other when most needed. I couldn't read this book fast enough.

✮ 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…”
