L A N I Generous. Kind. Ray of sunshine. Lani always got what she wanted. Ethically, of course. Yet, the one man she craves refuses to turn his head towards her. Unkempt feelings for him grow day by day, and his being her brother's best friend is the roadblock she isn't strong enough to lift. But if he sees her with another man, will things spiral in the direction she wants? C A L L U M Blunt. Observant. Grumpy. Callum's only goal really is to become captain of the Chicago Eagles hockey team. The concept of love is foreign to him, and yet he feels compelled to accept the deal Lani imposes, seeing that his reputation will skyrocket once the relationship leaves their inner circle. But is this truly what he wants? Of course it is; love is trivial and has no space for someone like him. Ever. After an accident forces girl group singer Lani Warren on a year-long hiatus, she finds it the perfect time to admit to her childhood friend how she feels before her group's comeback. The idea seems great in theory, but what she doesn't foresee is the imposing appearance of the man her brother hates, Callum Livernois. They don't know each other and don't want to get to know each other. But striking a mutually beneficial deal requiring them to fake date doesn't sound all that bad after brief deliberation. Nothing will happen, and they won't ever be each other's catalyst in romance. Right? ©girlwounds
