Fake relationship · Slow burn
Six weeks of pretending. One truth neither can schedule.
SOME TERMS ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN.
Ari Lane’s stolen design could end a career. Julian Mercer’s offer could save it: six weeks in a carefully managed public relationship. But preservation architect Noor Haddad sees the cracks in the arrangement, and the secrets hidden inside the hotel. The cameras can capture a kiss. They cannot tell you what it means.
The arrangement has practical terms and very inconvenient chemistry. Ari brings a threatened creative career; Julian brings a hotel reputation that needs repairing. Together they can produce the image everyone expects, as long as neither mistakes the performance for a promise.
Noor Haddad is restoring more than a building. Her work turns up questions about the hotel’s history, and her dry wit makes it difficult for Ari to hide behind a polished answer. As the public story grows more convincing, private loyalties become harder to explain.
In this fake relationship romance, small boundaries matter as much as grand gestures. Choose what to disclose, how far ambition should take you, and who deserves the unedited version of your life when the six weeks are over.
Adult romance, professional betrayal, public scrutiny, and family conflict. No explicit sexual content.
