Lena Morales has everything under control - until the night Hollywood's biggest heartthrob wraps an arm around her on the red carpet and tells the press she's his girlfriend.

She doesn't even know him.

But now she's fake-dating Ethan Chase, charming, arrogant, and way too good at looking like he's in love with her.

He needs good press. She needs exposure for her business. The deal is simple: smile for the cameras, stick to the contract, and whatever happens... don't fall in love.

But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to keep pretending. And the way Ethan touches her - looks at her - breaks every rule she's set.

It was never supposed to be real.
Until it is.

Leah Rivers never asked to be dragged into Hollywood chaos. She just wanted to save her struggling bookstore café, sip her coffee in peace, and maybe - someday - finish the novel she's secretly writing. Zane Carter is the industry's golden boy - charming, untouchable, and in the middle of a media scandal that could ruin everything. His team needs a quick solution. A distraction. A girlfriend. Enter Leah: offbeat, opinionated, and conveniently broke. The deal? A few public appearances, some harmless flirting, and absolutely no catching feelings. But sparks fly on red carpets. Secrets slip between shared glances. And somewhere between the headlines and the hand-holding, Leah starts to wonder if she's still pretending. Because falling in love was never part of the contract... right?
FEARFULLY HIS by unique4325
10 parts Ongoing Mature
His hands traced her arms, fingertips exploring, seeking the curve of her waist. Every touch sent sparks through her, searing and electric-he knew exactly how to make her weak. Leaning closer, his breath ghosted against her ear. "Only I know how to drive you crazy," he whispered. A shiver tore through her. "Please... Ethan, don't," she breathed, trembling. Five years ago, Lila vanished without a trace-pregnant, broken, and desperate. Now, Ethan Steele, the ruthless billionaire she tried to forget, has returned. Colder. Darker. More dangerous than ever. And when he discovers the daughter she's been hiding, chaos ignites. Ethan isn't here for closure-he's here to claim everything that belongs to him: her lips, her body, her soul... and their daughter. Lila wants to resist, but her body remembers every forbidden touch. Ethan moves like a storm-seductive, possessive, and utterly in control. But love this wild carries a price. And secrets this deep can burn everything to ashes.

But one night was never enough. Not with a man like Ethan. Not with the way he looked at her - his gaze so intense it seared right through her defenses. So calculating, so possessive, and yet, beneath the surface, there was something darker, more fragile. Every week, she arrived, knowing what was expected of her. Knowing there were rules. But rules, she soon learned, were meant to be broken.

Lena Davenport is running out of time. With her scholarship-fueled future and coveted gap year hanging in the balance, the brilliant, meticulously-planned Yale pre-med student has exactly three weeks to dismantle her mother's suffocating social schemes. Her mother's plan? To auction Lena off to the most "suitable" trust-fund husband at the elite Blackwood Gala. Lena's only solution is desperate, reckless, and brilliant: hire a human catastrophe. Enter Ethan Bellweather, the local mechanic. He's oil-stained, perpetually sarcastic, financially compromised, and the ultimate neighborhood "blight"-a man whose family was ruined years ago by Lena's mother. Ethan is the perfect anti-prospect, and he harbors a deep-seated vendetta against the Davenport name. Their pact is simple: The Unsuitable Contract. Ethan will be Lena's wildly inappropriate, all-consuming boyfriend, creating enough scandal to secure Lena's freedom. In exchange, Lena will help Ethan acquire the vintage car at the Gala auction-a final, sweet act of revenge for his family. The Rules are Clear: Duration: Three weeks. PDA: Minimal and chaste. Goal: Secure Lena's freedom and Ethan's revenge. Rule of Absolute Privacy: No talking about real feelings. But as the social pressure escalates and their performance becomes dangerously real-complete with stolen kisses, shared family secrets, and a common bond over the hidden "physics of ambition"-Lena realizes she's falling for the man she hired to destroy her life. When her mother threatens to expose Ethan's most painful family secret, Lena is forced into a final, impossible choice at the Gala: her guaranteed freedom, or the man who taught her what real love-and real engineering-truly looks like.
