Love By Proxy I just inherited ten million dollars from my eccentric great-aunt. There's only one catch: I have to stay single for a year. Oh, and the will specifically forbids me from being with Nate, my boyfriend of seven years. The solution seems simple. We fake a breakup, wait out the year, then get back together as millionaires. Easy money, right? Wrong. Turns out, a legal paperwork error means Nate can't move out of the inherited mansion without raising suspicion. So now we're living together in separate wings of this ridiculously huge house, pretending to be broken up while a nosy estate lawyer makes random visits to ensure we're "maintaining appropriate boundaries." To sell the breakup, we start dating other people. But watching the person you love go out with someone else, even when you know it's fake, is a special kind of torture. Morning coffee becomes a minefield. Passing each other in hallways feels like betrayal. And when a guy I barely know posts a fake photo making it look like we slept together, the whole plan threatens to collapse. Three hundred and sixty-five days suddenly feels like forever when you're pretending not to love someone who's sleeping just two wings away. Now I'm forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: you can't fake your way through heartbreak. And maybe my great-aunt knew exactly what she was doing when she wrote that impossible condition into her will. The question is....will I still want Nate when this year is over? Or will I discover that the person I'm really trying to find is myself? Love By Proxy is a romantic comedy about forced proximity, fake breakups, and discovering that sometimes the hardest person to lie to is yourself.
