The PlaybookIsabeau Roberts has spent eight months dating Christopher Howard, a status-obsessed climber who thinks her family works for someone wealthy. What he doesn't know is that she's the secret daughter of cosmetics founder Pamela Roseway—and that she's been working her way up at her mother's company while keeping her identity hidden from the spotlight.

When Christopher publicly humiliates her in the company cafeteria, introducing another woman as his girlfriend and dismissing Isabeau as a mistake that doesn't fit his future, her best friend Solstice calls in reinforcements: Truce Wagner, the gorgeous starting quarterback for the Topeka Tornados—and the boy Isabeau has loved since she was fifteen.

Truce has spent years hiding his feelings behind teasing and distance, terrified to risk their friendship. But when Solstice asks him to help Isabeau get revenge, he agrees to a fake relationship that will make Christopher regret every choice he's ever made. Public appearances. A few carefully staged kisses. Nothing real. Nothing dangerous.

Except Truce has been in love with Isabeau since he was sixteen, and pretending to be hers is the sweetest torture he's ever endured.

When a wild night in Las Vegas ends with an impulsive wedding, leaked footage, and a media firestorm, Isabeau and Truce are forced to keep performing as newlyweds. But as their chemistry ignites and old feelings resurface, the line between revenge and reality disappears.

Now, with Christopher's betrayal exposed, their families watching, and the world convinced they're madly in love, Isabeau and Truce must decide: walk away from the performance, or choose the most terrifying play of all—admitting that the fake relationship was real all along.
