Sometimes, the best relationships start with a lie.
Maya Chen is practical, ambitious, and completely over her family’s endless questions about her love life. Ethan Rodriguez is creative, charming, and desperate to avoid pity at his sister’s wedding—especially with his ex attending.
A simple deal: one weekend of pretending to be each other’s perfect partner. No complications. No real feelings. Just fake smiles, hand-holding, and a little light kissing for show.
But what starts as a staged romance quickly blurs into something dangerously real. Between stolen glances, late-night confessions, and a kiss that was never supposed to matter, Maya and Ethan find themselves caught in a web of emotions they promised to avoid.
Now they must decide: stick to the plan and walk away—or risk it all for a love that was never supposed to happen.
