She needed a fiancé to seal the deal. He was the charming chaos next door.

Chloe Larson is brilliant, driven, and this close to landing her dream VP of Marketing job. She's shattered every target and exceeded every KPI. There's just one tiny, utterly absurd hurdle: her eccentric, family-values-obsessed boss wants to meet the partners—the "support systems"—of his candidates at the annual leadership retreat.

Problem? Chloe's only serious relationship is with her career.

Solution? A desperate, last-minute proposal to her annoying-but-handsome neighbor, Liam O'Connell. He's a freelance artist, allergic to suits, and prone to rescuing his cat from precarious situations. He also owes her big time.

Their deal is simple: pose as a blissfully engaged couple for one weekend, help Chloe secure the promotion, and Liam walks away with hazard pay. But pretending to be in love under the intense scrutiny of executives and suspicious rivals forces them into ridiculously close quarters. Between navigating 'partnership trails,' fending off probing questions, and sharing unexpectedly honest moments on moonlit balconies, the lines between fake and real start to blur disastrously.

The chemistry is undeniable, the witty banter flows too easily, and soon the biggest threat isn't getting caught—it's falling for the one person who's completely wrong, yet feels incredibly right.

Can Chloe clinch her promotion and navigate the messy, intoxicating feelings for the fake fiancé who’s hijacking her carefully controlled life?

Fans of laugh-out-loud romantic comedies with sparkling banter, fake relationship shenanigans, opposites attract dynamics, and a sweet, satisfying happily-ever-after will adore this delightful novella.
