Liam and Olivia have always kept to the edges—outsiders in their own friend group, bonded only by the awkward silence of being single.
But when the constant teasing becomes too much, they hatch a plan: fake a relationship to shut everyone up.

With secrets simmering beneath the surface and unexpected twists ahead, their arrangement is about to get complicated—fast.
Because the problem with pretending is that hearts don’t follow scripts.
And sometimes, the biggest risk isn’t falling in love…
It’s admitting you already have.
