It started as a lie.

It felt like something real.

Emma Carter doesn’t believe in pretending—especially when it comes to love. In a town like Maplewood, where everything is built on trust and connection, honesty matters more than anything.

Daniel Hayes has built his life on control, success, and winning. But when his career depends on proving he’s ready to settle down, he needs something he’s never believed in…

A relationship.

The solution?

A simple agreement.

Pretend to be together. Convince everyone. Walk away when it’s over.

No feelings. No complications. No risks.

But nothing about Emma is simple.

And nothing about the way Daniel looks at her feels like a lie.

What begins as a carefully planned arrangement soon turns into something neither of them expected. Shared moments feel too real. Boundaries begin to blur. And the line between pretending and truth starts to disappear.

When the deal comes to an end, they’re left with one question—

Was it ever fake at all?

In the heart of Maplewood, where love grows in the most unexpected ways, Emma and Daniel must decide if they’re willing to take a risk on something real… or walk away from the one thing they never planned to find.
