A newly single billionaire entangled with a problematic ex-girlfriend. It was a nightmare convincing her that he had moved on. In the midst of calling off their wedding, he concocted a scheme to rid himself of her for good by involving a charming yet inexperienced wedding planner.
Samantha, the unsuspecting wedding planner, became the linchpin in Connor's plan as he proposed a fake engagement that she couldn't turn down. The offer came with a promise of funding for her dream business. Despite her initial hesitation, she eventually agreed to play along. He should've known then that the attraction he felt would only grow when they were forced to kiss and hold hands in front of others.
Although he vowed not to act on his growing attraction towards her, he couldn't resist Samantha's infectious smile and alluring curves. In public, he portrayed the devoted fiancé flawlessly. However, their pretend relationship took an unforeseen turn as their chemistry intensified, blurring the boundaries between reality and pretense.
As they continued their charade of being madly in love, he suggested exploring a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Their staged affection led to passionate kisses and a night of undeniable desire. With each forbidden moment they shared, their connection deepened beyond what they had anticipated.
Amidst the facade they maintained, genuine feelings blossomed between them, defying the constraints of their fake engagement. Would they be able to navigate the challenges that arose from pretending to be in love? Or would their intense but counterfeit romance shatter their hearts and jeopardize any chance at a true happily ever after?
