When a fake relationship between two powerful people becomes too real to control, it threatens to break more than just the rules.
Damon Carter doesn't believe in love. The billionaire heir has learned that feelings are distractions, and trust is a weakness best left to other people. What he believes in are results, contracts, and keeping emotions off the record.
Anita Voss doesn't believe in happy endings. The elegant media heiress has spent her life behind perfect smiles and carefully crafted headlines, protecting her family name and her own heart from the spotlight.
When a scandal threatens them both, a deal is made: a public relationship that benefits them equally. It's a clean, emotionless arrangement. Appear together, play the part, and keep the world fooled. Nothing real, nothing personal.
But as they start living the lie, the line between pretending and feeling begins to blur. Behind the cameras, their practiced chemistry starts to feel like something that can't be rehearsed. Between business meetings and staged photographs, something starts to change-something real, raw, and dangerously close to love.
And when secrets, power, and pride collide, Damon and Anita must face a truth they both swore to avoid:
the performance is over, and the feelings were never fake.
