One fake relationship. Two broken hearts. Zero escape.
About
The first rule of fake dating was simple: don’t catch feelings. Sienna Monroe had no interest in complicated relationships, especially after spending months rebuilding herself. Between college soccer, engineering classes, and trying to keep her life organized, romance was the last thing on her mind. Then Rowan Calloway walked into her life. The captain of the men’s soccer team was everything she avoided—confident, charming, and far too good at getting under her skin. When a rumor threatens Rowan’s future on campus and Sienna needs a way to escape the attention from her past, they make a deal neither of them expects to matter. One semester. One fake relationship. No emotions. At least, that was the plan. But pretending to care starts becoming easier than pretending not to. Late-night conversations turn into the moments they look forward to most. Fake smiles become real ones. And the line between acting and feeling starts disappearing. Sienna knows better than to trust someone with her heart. Rowan knows better than to fall for someone he promised he wouldn’t. But some lies become impossible to keep when they start feeling like the truth.
