There is one person on this earth I cannot stand: Ethan Taylor.

Sure, he looks like he belongs on the cover of a magazine, but don't let his looks fool you. He is pretentious, arrogant, and self-absorbed. Unfortunately, he is also the son of a reality TV star, and designers who won't even glance at my portfolio are on his speed dial.

But now he has a proposition for me: If I join him in New York City and pose as his date to his grandmother's swanky benefit, he'll take me to Fashion Week and introduce me to the hottest names in fashion. As an aspiring designer, I'd have to be crazy to turn him down.

Except that means spending a week with Ethan. Pretending to date him. His hand pressed to my low back. His sweet grandmother fawning over me, imagining our future together.

If only my heart didn't race a little every time he came near me, this would be a piece of cake.

Let's just hope I can remember all the reasons why I hate him...and keep myself from falling for him instead.
