Jenny has been crushing on her brother’s best friend Nico since forever—but with him gone to Chicago, she thought she could finally move on.
That is, until she blurts out his name as her “boyfriend” to save her new job.
It’s all pretend, right? At least until Nico shows up unexpectedly… and agrees to play along. As the lie spirals into steamy reality, Jenny and Nico are forced to confront old feelings, forbidden longing, and what it really means to stop pretending—and start believing in love.
