Playing Pretend

Louise believes in plans, payback, and perfect timing. Love is not on the list. When a forgotten promise resurfaces in the form of Adam, her movie-star ex, Louise decides it’s finally time to even the score. A fake engagement feels like the ideal setup for public embarrassment and long-overdue closure. The problem is Adam refuses to play the villain. He’s charming, steady, and far too good at reading between the lines. As pretend moments start to feel real, old memories soften and new sparks fly. Louise must decide whether revenge still fits, or if the love that waited patiently all along deserves a rewrite.
