Behind the Scenes

Pre-Order Now!

Nothing says true love like a well-rehearsed lie.

Stella Rhodes has built her career convincing Hollywood’s biggest stars to shine brighter, but at twenty-five, she can’t convince her own mother she’s capable of finding love. Cornered into proving she’s not hopelessly single, she blurts out a lie—and suddenly needs a boyfriend, fast. Enter Brandon Grimaldi, her stuntman best friend, whose job description has never included posing as her perfect plus-one.

Brandon’s made a career of risking his body for blockbuster films, but risking his heart? That’s uncharted territory. Pretending to adore Stella is easy when it’s all late-night laughs and inside jokes. But when hand-holding turns into heat, and stolen kisses stop feeling staged, the lines between friendship and something more blur faster than a camera pan.

Hollywood taught them both to sell the story. Now they have to decide: is this just a performance… or the beginning of the real thing?
