Thirty Days Of September

"She gave him thirty days to fall in love-he only needed one to begin."

Atasha Saldivarez had given up on fairy tales the moment she said I do to a man who never wanted her. For two years, she lived in the shadow of Aaron Corrales's indifference-his heart locked away for a woman who wasn't his wife. Candice Villacrusis was the ghost in every room, every glance, every silence.

But Atasha, bruised yet unbroken, dared to ask for thirty days. Thirty days to love him as if he were hers. To pretend-just once-that their marriage wasn't a cruel arrangement, but a love story waiting to be rewritten. In return, she promised to walk away forever.

Aaron agreed. After all, how much damage could one month do?

But love is never bound by time, and thirty days can undo years of resentment. As each moment pulls them closer, the lines between make-believe and reality begin to blur. And when the final day arrives, they must face a truth neither expected:
What if the love they pretended to have... was real all along?
