Valentina Sinclair is one "no" away from packing her bags and leaving Hollywood in the rearview mirror. Then comes the lifeline: a career-making lead role in the year's most anticipated blockbuster. There's just one tiny, million-dollar catch.To save the production's sinking reputation, Valentina must play the role of a lifetime off-screen, too. She has to convince the world she's head-over-heels for her co-star, Nathaniel Wolfe.He's the industry's crown jewel-enigmatic, untouchable, and famously guarded. To the public, he's the ultimate leading man; to Valentina, he's a cold professional who treats their "romance" like a business merger. For twelve months, every public kiss is scripted. Every private glance is a rehearsal.But as the lines between the script and their lives begin to bleed together, the act starts to feel dangerously like the truth. Valentina is breaking the one rule of the contract: don't fall for the lie.
