The Study Date: A Fake Dating College Romance

By Maren Holloway

A fake dating college romance with slow-burn tension, forced proximity, and rules that were never meant to last.

Mira only needed one thing:
to protect her scholarship and survive the semester.

Ethan needed nothing-
until a lie in a crowded room turned him into her fake boyfriend.

What was supposed to be a temporary arrangement quickly becomes impossible to control.
Late-night study sessions. Shared glances. A campus that watches-and assumes-everything.

The rules were simple:
no feelings.
no attachment.
no crossing lines.

But fake dating is easy only on paper.

As rumors spread and expectations grow, pretending starts to feel real.
And when walking away hurts more than staying, the question isn't whether the lie will break-

It's how much it will cost when the truth comes out.

The Study Date is a contemporary college romance featuring fake dating, slow-burn chemistry, forced proximity, academic pressure, and emotional tension that builds quietly before it breaks.

Perfect for fans of:

Fake dating romance

College and campus romance

Slow burn romance with emotional tension

Contemporary new adult romance

Stories about blurred boundaries and choosing love anyway

If you love fake relationships that feel a little too real,
The Study Date is your next slow-burn college romance.
