For years, Zara Kingston has carefully balanced a life built on appearances, keeping her influential Southern family satisfied with stories of a perfect romance that doesn't actually exist. But when an unexpected family gathering demands proof of the life she's claimed to have, her carefully crafted illusion begins to unravel.
Desperate to maintain control, Zara turns to the last person she ever imagined trusting, Malik Holloway, her infuriatingly confident coworker with a talent for pushing every one of her buttons. Their agreement is simple: he'll play the role of the devoted partner long enough to survive the tense reunion at the Kingston estate, and she'll make it worth his while.
A novel is a stretch, but I’m challenging myself 😏 … who am I kidding, this is NOT a novel.. just an urban fan fiction written by a shy Virgo 🤭..
