ELLIOTT
For as long as I can remember, my addictions have dictated my life.
That was until I finally hit rock bottom.
Now, I’m fighting for the job promotion that might just save me.
The only problem? My new boss hates me and accuses me of having no work-life balance.
So when Livi falls into my life and needs a fake boyfriend, I seize the opportunity.
Four months of pretending to date the woman who breathes life back into me should be easy, right?
However, the more we pretend, the more I forget it’s not real, and I start to realise walking away from her might be the one thing I can’t do.
LIVI
After my ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my own sister, I live by a set of strict rules. The most fundamental rule being to never to fall in love again.
I’ve committed myself to a life of solitude.
But when my mother blackmails me into organising my sister’s wedding, I am forced to save face and pretend I have a boyfriend.
Elliott not only swoops in and fills the role of fake boyfriend perfectly, but he awakens something inside me I swore no longer existed.
With every glance, every touch, every kiss, he leaves me wondering if he is worth breaking every single one of my rules for.
