A Rivals-to-Lovers, Fake Marriage Romance
Book Three of The Backlot Series
Headlines, heartbreak… and one accidental ‘I do.’
Jess Lexington has built her career on exposing the truth—especially in an industry built on spin. As one of Hollywood’s sharpest journalists, she’s made a name for herself by refusing to play along. Lucas Carmichael, Wonderland Studios’ polished head of communications, represents everything she can’t stand—and the one man who knows exactly how to get under her skin.
Waking up married in Las Vegas was not part of the plan.
When a viral video turns their accidental wedding into the headline of the week, Jess and Lucas are forced into damage control. To protect their careers—and the studio’s reputation—they agree to play the part of Hollywood’s newest power couple. The marriage is fake. The rules are clear. The chemistry is not.
As cameras follow their every move and old rivalries blur into something far more complicated, Jess finds herself questioning the story she’s always believed in. And when a career-defining investigation threatens to unravel everything, she must decide what matters more: the truth she’s built her life on, or the man who’s become more than just her fake husband.
