just view this link http://www.learnentityframeworkcore.com/configuration/data-annotation-attributes/foreignkey-attribute

public class Book
{
    public int BookId { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public Author Author { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("Author")]
    public int AuthorFK { get; set; }
}

public class Author
{
    public int AuthorId { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("AuthorFK")]
    public ICollection<Book> Books { get; set; }
}
