Gold Digger (Book 2 - Daydreamer)

A sizzling enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance from USA Today bestselling author Susie Tate—now in an exclusive paperback edition with bonus content.

Set between the luxurious English countryside and London, this emotionally charged grumpy boss, fake engagement romance delivers sharp banter, explosive chemistry, devastating betrayal, and unforgettable grovel.

Lottie Forest never imagined that cleaning for a duke would change her life. Oliver Harding is arrogant, infuriatingly handsome, obscenely rich—and so far out of her league it’s almost funny. But Lottie doesn’t have time for entitled aristocrats. She’s barely surviving, juggling endless bills, and fighting to protect her traumatised little sister—the only family she has.

Oliver Harding, the Duke of Buckingham, knows Lottie is completely off-limits. She’s clumsy, stubborn, unimpressed by his title, and utterly immune to his wealth. Yet she’s also brilliant, fiercely loyal, devastatingly honest—and the first person to ever see him as more than a name, a fortune, or a legacy.

She swore she’d never fall.
He told himself he didn’t care.

When a painful betrayal shatters their fragile trust, Oliver lets his pride and privilege turn him cruel, convincing himself he hates the woman he can’t stop wanting. But when the truth comes out, he realises his arrogance nearly cost him everything—and that winning Lottie back will take more than money or power.

Enter a scandalous fake engagement.

Determined to prove he’s changed, Oliver risks his reputation, his title, and his heart to show Lottie she belongs with him. But Lottie has survived abandonment, foster care, and loss—and trusting a billionaire duke again might be the most dangerous gamble of all.
