"The Agreement"

One year. One fake relationship. Zero chance we fall in love... right?

"You need a girlfriend. I need ten thousand dollars. We both need people to believe us."

---

Riley Chen has one goal: graduate with honors and finally give her family financial stability. But when her scholarship gets cut and medical bills pile up, she's desperate.

Kai Anderson has one problem: everyone thinks he cheated on his thesis. The golden boy rugby star is facing expulsion, and his reputation is destroyed. He swears he's innocent. Nobody believes him.

Until Riley agrees to help.

The deal is simple: fake-date him for one year. Show the world he's changed. In return? Ten thousand dollars and her problems solved.

The rules are clear:
✗ Public affection only when necessary
✗ No real feelings
✗ Nobody finds out the truth
✗ Walk away clean after one year

It should be easy. Just pretend.

Except pretending gets complicated when he remembers how she takes her coffee. When he shows up at her late shifts with food. When that contract kiss feels way too real. When his smile stops being for the cameras.

Now his vengeful ex-girlfriend is back. A campus gossip page is investigating them. Her scholarship advisor is asking questions. And Riley's falling for the one person she absolutely can't have feelings for.

What happens when fake becomes real? When breaking the rules means breaking your heart?

Some agreements are meant to be broken.
