Pretend for the Camera: Hispanic Romance Fake Dating

Six days. Three hundred guests. One fake boyfriend. What could possibly go wrong?

Magdelena Huertas is one degree of saturation away from losing her mind. Between piping luminous buttercream for a councilman's demanding daughter, rescuing missing flower orders, and keeping her family's bakery afloat, she is the sole chaos-coordinator of her own life. The absolute last thing she needs is her seventy-six-year-old abuela cornering her with yet another wealthy, terrible blind date.

Enter Cody Francis.

Quiet, steady, and built to carry heavy equipment, Cody is the A/V tech hired to wire the bakery's event hall. He is also the guy who overhears Magdelena's matchmaking nightmare through an air vent and spontaneously steps in to play her devoted boyfriend.

It is the perfect temporary fix. They just have to sell the lie to Magdelena's razor-sharp, meddling family through the end of the wedding on Saturday. But Cody does dishes with her grumpy brother, rescues her from floral catastrophes, and looks at her like she is the only light in the room. Soon, the lines between theater and reality begin to blur.

Magdelena has spent her whole life believing that the steady ones always leave. With a saboteur threatening the biggest night of her career, she has to decide whether to protect her heart or trust the one man who promises he isn't going anywhere.

Pretend for the Camera is a swoony, fast-paced Latino romance featuring opposites-attract chemistry, laugh-out-loud family dynamics, and a hero who knows exactly how to handle the chaos.
