Act Like You Love Me

Good grades, perfect reputation, no distractions. That was the plan.

Ella Hayes has everything under control. As a straight-A student with her eyes set on the internship of her dreams, the last thing she needs is trouble. But when the university's resident bad boy, Chase Holland, waltzes into her life, her carefully laid plans begin to fall apart.

Chase has a reputation. He's reckless, cocky, and one failed class away from being kicked out. Desperate to clean up his image, and pass his classes, he strikes a deal with Ella: he'll fake date her to prove he's not as bad as everyone thinks, and in return, she'll help him study.

It's just pretend. How hard could it be?

The rules are simple: keep things professional, avoid catching feelings, and, above all, remember it's not real. But the more they pretend to be in love, the more lines start to blur. Ella swore she wouldn't fall for him, but Chase's heart might not be as wild as his reputation suggests.

In a world where fake kisses feel all too real, Ella's biggest challenge might not be keeping up the act, it might be keeping her heart from getting broken.
