I've been good long enough. As the eldest son of Austin's most prominent preacher, I've lived my life on the virtuous side. No scandals. Flawless image. Clean reputation. That's the way it must be if I'm going to take his place someday. But everything changes when I find out my father is a VIP member of a local kink club. A liar. A cheater. A hypocrite. Now, I'm done being righteous. And when the club owner's jaded girlfriend comes to me with a proposal for a fake dating scheme to get back at the two people who have wronged us, I can't resist. Sage is nothing like the women I've dated before. Pink hair, tattoos, piercings. I know it'll burn my father's reputation to the ground when she and I are seen together. But it isn't enough. We need videos-dirty videos. The more we film these scenes, the more I like it. She wants me to degrade her, hurt her, violate her. And God help me, I want it too. But it's hardly fake anymore, and before long I don't recognize the Goode man I used to be.
