From the back cover

Chris has spent eight years as the stand-in for Emily Kelley's lost first love, playing the jealous hothead who smashed her car and burned her mansion. Everyone believed Emily would cast him out, yet she only loved him more, and he turned a spoiled heiress into a devoted girlfriend. On the day they were to get their license, he waited at the city hall for hours, only to learn she had married her first love, Kyle Walter.

At the wedding, Emily tells him he was only ever a stand-in and that it is time for him to go. The guests brace for his famous temper, and Emily shields Kyle, offering money and demanding he swear never to harm him. Chris quietly hands over the bouquet and walks away, for his jealous rages were only missions from a system, and now the mission is complete.

But Kyle smashes a bottle over his head, and Emily's only concern is Kyle's cut hand. When Chris wakes in the hospital, she asks him to forgive Kyle and to spend the favor she once earned by saving his life.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

I'm the most hot-tempered stand-in by Emily Kelley's side. When she smiled at another guy, I smashed her million-dollar car. When she had dinner with a man, I set her multi-million-dollar mansion on fire.

Everyone thought Emily would kick me out in anger, but instead, she fell even more in love with me.
