Luna Sorzano has it all-a six-figure cybersecurity career, a stunning home in San Antonio, Texas, a loyal Cane Corso named Ghost, and the technical skills to hack her way out of any problem. Except one: her sweet but relentless mother's obsession with seeing her married. In a moment of desperation during yet another "when are you settling down?" phone call, Luna does the unthinkable. She hacks into the Bexar County marriage database and creates a fake marriage license, choosing the name "Emilio Rossi" simply because it sounds sophisticated and conveniently distant. The system auto-fills the rest-date of birth, occupation, address. She figures she'll deal with the imaginary husband's "business trips" indefinitely. There's just one problem: the database didn't pull a random Emilio Rossi. It pulled the Emilio Rossi-her enigmatic, absurdly wealthy, and frustratingly attractive boss. The billionaire tech mogul who built the very security systems Luna now maintains. When Emilio's equally meddling Italian mother visits his office and somehow discovers a marriage certificate bearing her son's name, both families explode with joy. Suddenly, Luna's simple lie spirals into an elaborate charade involving family dinners, probing questions, and two meddling mothers who are determined to see their "married children" actually act like a couple. Now Luna must navigate the impossible: working for the man she's "married" to, dodging her mother's increasingly specific questions about grandchildren, and worst of all-pretending to be in love with a man who's annoyingly perfect, frustratingly perceptive, and starting to look at her like maybe this arranged-by-accident marriage isn't such a bad idea after all. A romantic comedy about fake marriages, real feelings, and what happens when your perfectly constructed lie becomes the truth you didn't know you wanted.
