The Playboy's Forbidden Risk

Every woman competing on the dating show The One wants millionaire playboy Max Carter, yet the only person he wants is the executive producer he is not allowed to pursue.

This production is her last shot at repairing a damaged career, which means she needs high ratings, a perfect on-screen love story, and a leading man willing to follow the rules—except Max is rich, reckless, and determined to do the opposite.

On camera, he is supposed to fall for one of the contestants vying for him; once filming stops, he turns that charm on her and will not let her pretend it is only part of the act.

She tries to keep her distance, knowing that getting involved with the star of her own show could wreck her career and ignite a scandal no edit can contain.

Millions of viewers are waiting to see who he picks, and the real danger is how badly she wants that choice to be her.
