Co-stars. Fake lovers. Real enemies.

​

I’ve landed my dream debut role on the TV crime series, Urban Dawn, but I have a secret: my on-screen beau, Maddox Winter, grates on my last nerve with his wisecracks and gold-digging arm candy—usually D-listers trying to make it in Y’allywood, Atlanta’s hot cinematic scene.

​

So what if he’s sexy as hell? I’m thrilled to see my name, Riley Glenn, at the top of the credits…even if my shady ancestry has me questioning my surname.

​

When an accidental naked entanglement lands Maddox and me on the cover of Love Buzz, the news spreads like norovirus on a cruise ship. With ratings skyrocketing, our director casts us into a faux relationship, and my wackadoodle mother-figure goes on damage control.

​

Sprinkling my nana’s ashes in Scotland, I experience a new Maddox who brews my coffee, rubs my achy feet, and carries me through a field of cow pies. Oddly, our pretend relationship starts to feel like the only real thing in our cinematic lives.

​

But when my bomb of a family secret drops, it could be the end of our act, on and off screen.
