How to Fake Date Your Boss by Camilla Evergreen

 I thought I had a strict childhood & almost everyone I talk to agrees. Rose's parents have some crazy theories. I can't imagine not being allowed to read fiction or fantasy those are my genres. I grew up on sci-fi. Rose was homeschooled up to the higher grades then put into an all girls school. She's never kissed a boy, been to a party, a bar, or had sex. She is a positive person who is like a ray of sunshine. Her school is touring a college when she hears crying. She follows it to a box of cats that are abandoned. When it starts pouring rain she covers the box with her body. While she is trying to figure out what to do a male student walks out with an umbrella. Rose isn't paying attention & runs into his chest. 


Levi thinks she is beautiful, kind, & caring. Unlike the people he has dealt with for years. He's depressed yet something draws them together. Levi let's Rose know that he can see her underwear because the fabric of her uniform is pretty much transparent when wet. Levi is sweet enough to give her his expensive coat to keep her modesty. One of Rose's teachers starts yelling for her. He got her name but she never knew his. She thrust the box of kittens at him & made him promise to find new homes for them. 


Now it's 5 years later & Rose is attending the same college Levi went to. She is paying her way for college with scholarships & jobs. She takes a year or two off at times to save up. She applies to be a copywriter for Levi's autobiography. He knows it's her however, she doesn't recognize him. 

When Rose goes into the interview he can't believe she doesn't recognize him. Rose is uncomfortable in a tight dress that her roommate said was appropriate for an interview. However, the way it's described it would be better to wear it to a club. Levi is so smitten that he walks her to her scooter. In the parking lot her heal breaks & Levi moves fast to be the one to cushion her fall. When Rose lands her mouth is on his & she is straddling him. He asks her to get off him. Because he is afraid of what he will do if she stays in that position. She sits up but is stuck straddling him because the dress is so tight. Levi is able to pick her up while getting himself off the ground. Unbeknownst to them someone caught it all on camera. Levi has his first scandal since starting his billionaire company. 

Rose goes in to her new job after the tabloids come out with a plan. She pitches the idea of dating Levi so they can both clear their names. Rose is being called a whore & she is terrified her parents will find out. Levi agrees but I suspect he does it just to spend time with her. He tries to come clean with her so many times but she shuts him down. Even after taking home to meet her family who end up loving him. She still goes through the fake breakup. And she moves back home to write books. She decided she didn't need a college degree to teach her what she already knew. But will she be able to live the lonely life again being single?
