How to Fake a Meet-Cute: A Slow-Burn, Fake Dating, and Enemies-to-Lovers Rom-Com

Actress Chloe George has spent her career making audiences fall in love with her. Falling on the Met Gala steps, straight into the arms of hockey's broodiest bad boy, Axel Poteet, was admittedly off script. But when the photo goes viral and the internet declares them soulmates by sunrise, they spot an opportunity neither can afford to pass up. Her star has dimmed since a very public breakup, and she could use a boost to her image. He has reasons of his own for keeping the cameras pointed anywhere but at his game. A few staged dates and one flawless public romance could be exactly what they need to fix everything. What could go wrong? After all, faking love is literally Chloe's job.

Meanwhile, Chloe's sister and manager, Leah, is stuck running damage control alongside Axel's infuriatingly fit trainer, Owen--a man whose favorite food is broccoli, who has never sipped a Diet Coke, and who goes on five-mile runs for "fun." Who can trust someone like that? Leah has spent years protecting her sister's image and guarding a few secrets of her own, and she's not about to stop now. If tolerating the most aggravating man alive is what it takes to sell this fairy tale and save Chloe's career, so be it. All she has to do is trust her head and ignore whatever her heart keeps doing every time Owen walks into the room.

How to Fake a Meet-Cute serves up fake dating, a rogue kiss cam, sister banter, and two swoon-worthy romances--proof that the best love stories sometimes begin with a stumble.
