The Invitation: Special Edition (The Brewer Family Series: Special Edition)

Signing a reality show contract sounded like a terrible idea—until she realized her co-star would be Ripley Brewer, and suddenly "terrible" didn't even begin to cover it.

When loyalty to her best friend pushes her into filming a high-concept dating show, she accepts the chaos. What she doesn't accept—not even a little—is being paired with the most infuriating, arrogant, devastatingly attractive billionaire in existence. Ripley Brewer has charmed his way through half the country and collected enough magazine covers to wallpaper a mansion. He is absolutely, categorically, the last man she would ever choose.

Except the contract says otherwise.

Now they're performing a love story for millions of viewers, navigating staged dates, coordinated outfits, and enough forced proximity to make anyone lose their mind. The bickering is constant, the tension is electric, and somewhere between a whispered argument at a candlelit dinner and a touch that lingers just a beat too long, the lines between performance and reality start to blur in dangerous, breathtaking ways.

Adriana Locke delivers a wickedly fun contemporary romance that crackles with wit, heat, and heart. *The Invitation* is the kind of story where every eye-roll hides a confession and every argument is really just foreplay. Ripley Brewer was supposed to be the enemy.

The problem? He's starting to feel like everything else instead.
