They started fake dating to fool everyone else. They didn't expect to fool themselves.
To survive her sister's wedding season, anxious-but-sweet Lily Hayes needs a buffer. Specifically, a fake boyfriend to fend off relentless matchmaking attempts and her future brother-in-law's very annoying cousin.

Who better than her easygoing, ever-supportive best friend, Noah Evans?

A little white lie later, and Lily and Noah are suddenly 'dating' – just for show, of course. Their rules are clear: keep it simple, no real feelings allowed, absolutely no kissing. It's the perfect plan to get Lily through the social gauntlet unscathed.

But the more they pretend for nosy relatives and persistent party guests, the harder it is to remember where the act ends and their real connection begins.

Shared glances feel longer. Casual touches feel charged. And Lily starts to wonder if the butterflies in her stomach are part of the performance... or if Noah's been hiding feelings she never dreamed he had.

They set out to fool everyone else, but as the wedding date looms, they risk falling for the performance... and losing the friendship that means everything.

When the curtains close on their fake romance, will they discover that sometimes, the best love stories happen by accident?
