When Emily’s parents arrange a blind date in an attempt to set her up, the last person she expects to see across the table is her ex-boss, Ryan—a high-powered lawyer known for his ruthless professionalism. What’s even more shocking is that Ryan, equally reluctant, is also there at the behest of his own family. After a few awkward moments and a mutual understanding of the farce they’ve been forced into, they agree to pretend to be a couple, each secretly wanting to escape their families’ pressures. But as the days pass and their fake relationship begins to feel more real, both Emily and Ryan start to question if this is just an act—or if what they’ve built together is something more than they bargained for. With old emotions resurfacing and the stakes higher than either of them imagined, they must navigate the blurry line between pretense and reality.
