A Little Bit Engaged

One little public scandal—and now they’re engaged… sort of. When Cara O’Neal finds herself unexpectedly dragged into a massive PR nightmare alongside A-list actor—and her former crush—Brody Simmons, a pretend engagement seems to be the only way to stop the media madness. But Cara is certainly no actress, and faking a high-profile relationship with Brody has epic failure written all over it. It will take nothing short of an Oscar-worthy performance for her to survive this charade with her heart intact.

Meanwhile, Brody is enjoying playing the role of Cara’s adoring fiancé way more than he should. Acting like he’s in love with the pretty bookworm isn’t exactly a chore. She’s always been a good, supportive friend, but lately, he can easily imagine her as so much more—which only complicates their strict arrangement.

As the paparazzi close in and the lines between make-believe and reality begin to blur, the emotional stakes rise. Can Cara and Brody risk their friendship to turn their fake relationship into a real love story, or will the harsh spotlight ruin their chance at forever?
