A Model Relationship (LukeMick)

Luke's life runs on precision: impeccable grades, a flawless portfolio, and a clear path to the internship of his dreams. The only glitch? A campus gossip blog that keeps linking him to Mick Ton-the charming, chaotic heir to a business empire-after a series of spectacularly awkward public encounters.

Mick is desperate. The rumors are fueling his mother's campaign to marry him off for business reasons. He needs a diversion, and Luke, with his icy reputation, is the perfect solution.

Their deal is simple, secret, and strictly business: fake a relationship, end the rumors, and get what they both want. Luke gets peace, quiet, and a career-making opportunity. Mick gets a shield from his family's plans.

But between clashing "dates," strategic hand-holding, and late-night study sessions that feel a little too real, their flawless plan develops a critical flaw. The best way to fake a relationship might just be to fall in love-for real.
