Faking It With The Bad Boy Next Door: An Enemies To Lovers Sweet Romance

My brother’s best friend asked me to be his fake wife.

David Garcia's surprise appearance at a friend's engagement party leads to a reunion that reignites old tensions from a past incident.

We've always clashed—his extroverted charm versus my introverted reserve.
Now, he’s back in Autumnvale and my next-door neighbor.

Once a notorious bad boy and my brother’s best friend, David now leads a billion-dollar hotel empire and must win over the townspeople for his latest project.

His solution? A fake marriage—with me.
Tempted by his publishing connections, I agree.

As we parade our faux romance through town festivals and plaza strolls, I begin to see the sincere man behind David's facade.

Each late-night talk and lingering touch fuels our growing chemistry—and my feelings.
But then he vanishes, leaving me to untangle the chaos alone.

I’ve staked my reputation on this charade. If he thinks he’s getting away with this, he's mistaken—we have unfinished business. Rated '2/5 - Behind closed doors' for steam/spice/heat level.
