When a freshly fired woman desperate to make her ex-boss jealous literally crashes into a brooding billionaire having the worst day of his life, they strike an unlikely deal: she'll play his devoted fiancée at fancy events and intimate dinners, he'll give her access to his mansion and his wallet. It's supposed to be purely transactional—a temporary arrangement that benefits them both—but chemistry has other plans, and what started as a convenient lie becomes dangerously real. Meghan Quinn serves up the perfect blend of laugh-out-loud humor and swoon-worthy romance as two people who definitely weren't supposed to fall for each other discover that sometimes the best love stories start with the most ridiculous meet-cutes. This one's a total feel-good ride that'll have you rooting for them from the very first accidental bump.
Reading soundtrack
Sultry indie-pop and R&B with electric tension—think The Weeknd, SZA, boygenius. Mix confident swagger with vulnerable chemistry. Flirty banter energy meets slow-burn desire. Contemporary romance soundtrack dripping with chemistry, wit, and undeniable attraction beneath every note.
