Daphne always loved the way her fiancé, Peter, told their love story—right up until he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend, Petra. Now stranded in picturesque Waning Bay, Michigan, with only her low-paying dream job as a children’s librarian, Daphne proposes an unconventional living arrangement with the one person who understands her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and chaotic, Miles is the complete opposite of practical, reserved Daphne, but their shared heartbreak sparks an unexpected friendship—and a scheme. Posting misleading photos of their summer adventures seems harmless enough, but as lines blur, Daphne starts to wonder: is she really just faking a new chapter, or is she about to fall for the last person she ever expected?

Anna Green thought her marriage to Liam “West” Weston was just a convenient arrangement for student housing at UCLA—one that ended with their diplomas.

As one of four heirs to the Weston Foods empire, West is set to inherit $100 million—if he remains happily married for five years. With his family pressuring him to introduce his mysterious wife, he turns to Anna, the last person he wants in his world of wealth and privilege. But as they fake their way through high society, West realizes his real fear isn’t whether Anna can play the role—it’s whether the life he left behind will change the woman he’s starting to love for real.
