She needs a story. He needs a scandal to disappear. Faking a relationship should be easy. Falling for each other is the part that ruins everything.
Liz Monroe has built her whole college identity on being loud, sharp, and impossible to ignore. She says what everyone else is too scared to say on her late-night campus show, and she refuses to become just another girl smiling on the arm of a famous guy.
Mike Newman is exactly the kind of guy she loves to drag on air. UT Austin's golden-boy wide receiver is handsome, polished, and one viral party video away from a full-blown image disaster.
So when a fake dating plan lands in both their laps, Liz knows it's a terrible idea.
It's supposed to be strategic. Public. Temporary. A few staged appearances, a few fake kisses, and a way for both of them to control the story everyone else is telling about them.
But Mike is sweeter than she expected. Hotter than she's prepared for. And the more time Liz spends with him, the harder it is to tell where the performance ends and the real thing begins.
Because fake chemistry is one thing.
Fake jealousy is harder.
And fake dating the most wanted guy on campus gets very dangerous when he starts looking at her like she's the only real thing in his life.
Fake Dating & Real Trouble is a steamy New Adult college romance packed with fake dating tension, campus drama, public chemistry, messy feelings, sharp banter, and a heroine who refuses to lose herself when love gets real.
