*Rewrite our story* "BOOK - 1"
Emilia Carter knows how to write the perfect romance-she's built her entire career on it. But in real life? Love has always been more of a fiction than a reality. With her latest book release on the horizon, she needs a publicity boost to keep her name trending. On the other hand, Luca Bennett, a rising musician, is battling relentless media scrutiny, his music overshadowed by rumors about his personal life. He needs to shift the focus back to his art before it costs him everything.
A solution presents itself-fake date each other. A simple arrangement: Emilia gets the media attention she needs, and Luca escapes the invasive gossip. No feelings, no complications. Just a mutually beneficial deal.
At first, their "relationship" is nothing more than carefully staged moments-public outings, hand-holding, and just enough chemistry to sell the illusion. Behind closed doors, they couldn't be more different. She's methodical, always thinking ahead, while he thrives on spontaneity. They challenge each other, annoy each other, and swear that none of it means anything.
But somewhere between pretending and playing their roles too well, something shifts. The looks linger too long. The late-night conversations stop feeling like part of the act. The way he says her name, the way she watches him on stage-it's no longer just for show.
Yet, just as their fake love starts to feel real, someone is working in the shadows to tear them apart. Ava, Emilia's best friend, has always been her biggest supporter-or so it seemed. But deep down, she's in love with Luca, and she's not willing to stand by and watch him fall for Emilia. Slowly, she feeds misunderstandings and doubts, making Emilia question everything.
When secrets unravel and trust shatters, Emilia and Luca must face the truth-was their love ever real, or was it just another illusion? And if it wasn't, is it too late to rewrite their ending?
