Just Another Summer Romance

You're invited to the wedding of the summer. We hope you can join us. Mia, it's a pity you don't have a date.

After receiving that rude invite from my childhood crush Rex, things took a wildly unhinged turn. My best friend, Luke (Rex's brother), suggested we go to the wedding together and pretend we'd been secretly dating for a year. And I, like a fool, said yes!

The rules were simple:

• Pretend we were soulmates, written in the stars.
• No crossing physical lines (I was dumb).
• Break up immediately after the wedding.

Somewhere between the shared hotel room, lingering practice kisses, and tantalising touches, our chemistry starts to feel too real. Rule #2 went out the window faster than you could say, "This is a bad idea."

When Rex decides he wants me after all, our fake relationship becomes even more complicated. Now I have to decide if a summer romance I never saw coming is turning into love or if I'm risking the best friendship of my life.
