About this book

After a wild Vegas night, you wake up married to your best friend—and a hockey superstar—with zero memory of how it happened. When your wedding photos go viral before you can even get an annulment, you're both forced to keep up the charade as a real couple back home, determined to stay platonic and protect your decade-long friendship. But as Asher starts cooking you dinner, encouraging your art dreams, and showing you a tender side you've never seen before, the line between pretend and real starts to seriously blur. What started as damage control becomes dangerously close to the real thing, and suddenly you're wondering if either of you was ever actually faking it.

Blend infectious pop energy with sultry R&B and indie love songs that capture the tension between pretense and desire. Mix upbeat, playful tracks with slow-burn sensual moments—think confident swagger meets vulnerable confession. Songs about best friends becoming lovers, stolen glances, and the electricity of crossing invisible lines.
