Books like Always Knew It Was You by Summer Hunter

She’s my ticket to freedom, but the plane heads in the wrong direction—to her heart. Dad thinks I’m spoiled and unruly so he forces me to run the Pink Hotel to teach me responsibility. Screw that. My granddad and I strike a deal instead. The deal? Marry a high society woman to get my inheritance. The challenge is I can’t stand the type. So I proposition my one-night stand from weeks ago to be my fake fiancée. Carly Huntley, a gorgeous, curvy, and emotionally unavailable blonde, aka, the best choice. All’s going well until I’m panting at the hem of her skirt, melting at the look in her eyes, hanging onto her every word. Carly’s falling for me too. The tension between us sizzles—electric, intoxicating. But my granddad will never accept the real her. Then her messed up family starts causing problems. Someone sinister is after her. And an unplanned pregnancy tests our bond. Yet, I’m committed. Historically, I leave when the going gets tough. But I’m sticking with her despite my flaky tendencies. Maybe she’ll ruin me for good. Always Knew It Was You is a standalone romantic suspense that balances heart-pounding tension with witty banter and humor. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Expect a rollercoaster of emotions seasoned with laugh-out-loud moments. Contains explicit content. Recommended for 21+.
