Adrian never thought he’d be this guy—burnt out, alone, and lying to his daughter’s school about having a family. But when his ex-wife bails on another “mommy and me” event, he hires Camille to pretend to be Ellie’s mother.
Camille’s not perfect. She’s broke. Between gigs. And she's never really had a real home. But she’s warm. Funny. Good with kids. And desperate for a paycheck.
It’s just for a few school events... until it isn’t.
Pretending gets harder when the feelings stop being fake.
He’s a man who doesn’t believe in second chances. She’s the girl who’s never been anyone’s first.
