When a pop star and a hockey bad boy fake an engagement to fix their respective images, they're banking on the paparazzi buying their story — but neither expects the chemistry between them to feel this authentic. Aleksander and his best friend have been circling each other since high school, all heated banter and lingering looks, and now they're forced to play couple in front of the world while keeping their real feelings under wraps. But when a hurricane traps them together and every stolen kiss blurs the line between performance and reality, pretending becomes impossibly harder. This is the kind of swoon-worthy romance where the fake part might just be the least real thing between them, and sometimes the person you never thought would be yours is exactly the one you can't live without.
