Description

She shares everything online—he’s legally forbidden from existing on social media.

Leo Granger is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist with a two-year social media ban in his contract—no photos, no posts, no digital footprint. After three perfect coffee dates with a woman who makes him want to step out of the shadows, he’s finally ready to risk being seen again.

Bex Tully built her wedding planning empire by sharing every moment with 2.3 million followers who expect constant access to her life—especially her love life. Her sponsors demand authenticity, her bills demand content, and her heart demands the mysterious man who sees her when she’s not performing.

When Bex’s assistant accidentally films them together, they’re viral by morning. Her sponsors want a romance arc or they’ll pull her contracts. His legal team wants him gone from her feed or they’ll sue. The solution? A fake “soft breakup”—thirty days of staged cooling-off while the internet loses interest.

But every secret meeting makes their fake relationship feel more real. Every staged “we’re just friends” post becomes harder to sell. And when you’re falling for someone you’re supposed to be falling out of love with, keeping it private becomes impossible—especially when the whole internet is watching for the next chapter.

This Contemporary Romcom — Influencer romance includes:

• Opposites attract tension
• Dating app meet-cute gone viral
• Fake relationship with real feelings
• Work vs. love identity crisis
• Accidental internet fame chaos

Spicy heat — perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Tessa Bailey, and Sarah Hogle.
