"A PR stunt. An old flame. A love neither of them was meant to feel. She wrote love songs for everyone but him - until she did."
Singer-songwriter Catarina Taira thought her love life had already had its drama: a public breakup with F1 star Charles Leclerc and a career she's barely keeping together. So when her team suggests a fake relationship with tennis champion Jannik Sinner to fix her image, she agrees. They might not see eye-to eye, but it's business. It's pretend.
Except Jannik isn't as detached as he seems, and the act begins to blur with something achingly real. As paparazzi flashes turn to late-night confessions and shared secrets, Catarina's heart starts to serve double faults, caught between the ghost of her past and the man she was never supposed to love.
But when pride, fear, and the weight of their own lies finally collide, both are left to wonder:
Were they only pretending, or were they too scared to admit it was real?
