Eliza Quinn knows fashion, but not fairy tales. When she signs a contract to fake an engagement with tech mogul Dorian Hale, it's all business-until it's not. The deal is simple: look the part, play the game, and walk away in thirty days. But under the lights and behind the scenes, their chemistry refuses to stay scripted.

Dorian built an empire by controlling outcomes. Eliza was never part of the plan. But the more time they spend navigating interviews, curated dates, and one too many stolen glances, the harder it becomes to tell where the pretending ends and the real feelings begin.

As their deal edges closer to its deadline, Eliza begins to question everything she thought she knew-about success, vulnerability, and the price of a heart that's never been on the market. And Dorian must decide if a calculated life is worth the cost of losing the one person who made it feel real.

Because in a world built on image, what happens when love demands something unscripted?

Will their paper-perfect engagement burn out with the flash of a camera... or spark something they never saw coming?
