She only intended to pretend to date him. He only meant to play along. However, somewhere in the middle of the banter, the sparks, and the stolen kisses, pretending ceased to feel so fake.
When Claire Bennett agrees to a fake relationship to get her nosy family off her back, she never expects her "boyfriend" to be the one man who drives her absolutely crazy-Ethan Carter, her infuriatingly charming rival.
He is confident, he is competitive, and he knows exactly how to make her feel uncomfortable. But he's also... amusing. Supportive. Far too good at holding her hand when people are watching-and far too good at making her heart race when they're not.
What begins as a straightforward strategy blossoms into late-night hilarity, flirtatious banter, and chemistry that seems dangerously real. The only issue? They had no plans of being in love together.
