Ex Appeal, Reel Deal
Madison Taylor thought she had left her first heartbreak behind—until her ex-boyfriend walked back into her life as Hollywood's newest leading man.
When an unexpected opportunity lands Madison on the makeup team of a major film production, the last person she expects to see is Ian Brock, the movie star who shattered her heart years ago. Their reunion is anything but sweet, but one impulsive lie changes everything. Suddenly, they're pretending to be the industry's hottest couple, dodging gossip columns, jealous co-stars, and cameras that never stop rolling.
What begins as a fake relationship quickly blurs into something dangerously real. Between stolen glances behind the scenes, unresolved memories, and undeniable chemistry, Madison and Ian discover that the hardest role they'll ever play is pretending they don't still belong together.
