Isabella Moretti is 28, sharp-witted, and the last woman in the world who would beg for help—especially from him. Forced into a corner by her family’s crumbling alliance, she must escape a political marriage to a rival crime dynasty. Her only shot? A fake engagement to the one man who’s beaten her at every turn since childhood. Luca Vitiello doesn’t do favors. Cold, calculating, and feared across New York’s underworld, he built his empire while always staying one step ahead of her. He agreed to this charade for reasons she can’t decipher. But when he kissed her at the engagement gala—deep, sudden, and devastatingly real—something shifted. Now, assassins watch her movements. Whispers paint her as Luca’s one vulnerability. And the worst part? She’s starting to believe it too.

To save your family’s failing company, you agree to a contract: play the role of his devoted fiancée for three months. He needs to impress investors. You need the money. But now his jealous ex is circling, his best friend won’t stop watching you, and every stolen glance between you feels less and less fake. Your decisions shape whether this lie destroys you—or becomes the truth.

Your decisions shape the journey of Rebecca 'Becca' Warner, an 18-year-old valedictorian from a quiet South Dakota farm town, now stepping into the unknown at a Los Angeles college. A clash of worlds begins—and so does a transformation no one saw coming.

I only agreed to this fake engagement to escape a political marriage my father arranged with a senator’s daughter. Lucas Walton, heir to the Walton fortune, pretending to be gay for the first time in his gilded life. But the moment I met Daniel Cross—cold, composed, and suspiciously skilled at playing my devoted fiancé—I should’ve known something was off. Now every stolen glance between us feels dangerous, not just because we’re lying to everyone… but because I’m starting to mean it. And if he’s not who he says he is, then whose secrets are we really hiding?
