Lola:

I never thought I’d be this desperate.

Breaking up with my fiancé, Ken, weeks before my high school reunion wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was realizing I still dread facing the people who made my teenage years a living nightmare. I was supposed to walk in with confidence, my perfect life on display, and a perfect fiancé on my arm.

Instead, I’ve got Plan B… Grady.

Gorgeous and charming, Grady’s the mysterious new guy in our little beach town and has become my unexpected friend. And now? My fake fiancé.

It’s just pretend—until it starts to feel real.

His smile makes my heart race, and the way he looks at me… I can’t tell what’s an act anymore. But when a scandal monger starts poking around, secrets threaten to unravel everything.

When life falls apart, you improvise. But now I have to decide: is this fake engagement worth fighting for?

Grady:

I came to Treasure Island to escape.

Life in LA—my famous family, the constant spotlight—was suffocating. Here, I can breathe, build something real. And then there’s Lola.

From the moment I saw her, I was a goner. Her quirky smile, her smoking hot body, her kind heart… but she was engaged. To a guy who didn’t deserve her. So I did the only thing I could—I became her friend.

Now she’s single, asking me to pretend to be her fiancé for her high school reunion. It’s my chance to show her what she really deserves, but crossing the line between friend and something more? It could ruin everything.

But it’s not just about risking our friendship. A scandal writer is digging into my past, and Axel—yeah, the newly famous musician Axel—just walked back into her life.

If I lose Lola, I lose everything.
