Eden Foster and Miles Alastor are two writers that have been honing their craft for years, but with every passing rejection email, their future of becoming best selling authors seems near to impossible. That is, until they strike a deal that'll define the rest of their careers:
Fake date each other for 6 months, for the added benefits, of course.
It works out because Eden gets first hand experience for her book, and Miles gets a new muse to work with. There's nothing that could go wrong.
Besides, the fake dating trope should be easy for two writers to pull off, right?
