He was dating me to save his reputation… but it was all a lie.
From Holt, With Promise, an all-new Fake Dating, Best Friend’s Brother Billionaire romance, and book 3 in the NYC Billionaire Series from bestselling author Brittany Taylor is now available!
He was dating me to save his reputation… but it was all a lie.
I’ve seen the pain love can cause, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake. It’s made me swear off love forever, and now I’m more than content living my quiet life in the big city, with my small group of friends.
Until the night my best friend begs me to help with her fundraising auction.
The winning bidder’s prize?
A date with me.
But when the highest bidder joins me up on stage to claim what he’s now owed, it’s more than just his surprising, electric kiss that catches me off guard.
Turns out my date isn’t just another big city billionaire.
He’s Holt Capuleti.
Owner of Scribe Magazine.
Self-described bachelor.
And my best friend’s older brother.
At first, I refuse to follow through with going on a date… until Holt reveals his true intentions. Reluctantly, I agree to play at being his girlfriend, all to turn the focus of the media attention away from his looming lawsuit.
But once the scandal dies down, and the cameras stop pointing in our direction, we still can’t seem to keep our mouths and hands to ourselves.
Before I realize what’s happened, Holt has managed to break through the walls of my heart, and the longer we keep up the pretense, the more I begin to understand that Holt has secrets of his own—secrets that make him offer me a perfect forever.
But how can I promise him forever in return when I’m not even certain forever exists?
Or if I can ever allow myself to love at all…

“What the hell was that, Holt?” She spins on her heel, eyebrows slanted in anger.
“Not quite sure why you’re so upset.” I narrow my gaze. “You were clearly asking for my
help out there. Pleading for it, in fact.”
I can’t forget the way she mouthed her plea to me with her gaze locked onto mine.
“I was not pleading.”
“Right, because you mouthing the word ‘please’ from across the ballroom isn’t pleading.”
I smirk. “Tell me, Wallflower, why would you rather have me bid on you than Adam when you
came here together?”
She pauses, her neck bobbing as she swallows. “We aren’t together.”
Her confirmation of what my sister told me earlier makes me feel better. Not that I didn’t
believe Julianna, but sometimes my sister can run with a rumor and twist it.
She crosses her arms defiantly over her chest. She’s shutting me out, but I can’t help
noticing how I’ve never seen her like this. I’ve lit a fire in her, and I want more of it. My stomach
and dick delight at the thought of bringing this side of her out.
Her cheeks are flushed red, and her chest rapidly and dramatically rises and falls as she
attempts to fill her lungs with air.
“You kissed me.”
“The winning bidder gets to kiss their date.”
“On the cheek.” She scoffs. “You missed by a few inches.”
“Oh, come on.” I lean forward, stuffing my hands in my pockets to keep myself from
touching her. I won’t do that again unless she asked me to. “Admit it, Wallflower.”
“Admit… what?” she stammers, straightening her back. Her arms unravel.
“Admit that you just experienced the best kiss of your life.”

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
From Holt, With Promise delivers a perfect fake-dating/secret crush romance between Holt and Selene. I love that Holt has been pining for Selene from afar for years, and finally got his chance with her after a charity date auction and a proposal of a fake relationship to help him through a PR scandal.
Both of these characters have some family baggage, and it ends up bonding them in a way. Selene had sworn off relationships (ugh, her background was devastating), and Holt really showed her that she can trust someone else, and that love can be healing. I loved how he became such a safe space for her and how she blossomed as their fake relationship became so much more.
These two characters were magnetic. I’ve always had a soft spot for Asher (since I read Asher and Charleigh’s OG story before the NYC Billionaires series), but Holt is running a close second!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
