Fake My Life

Livy He's a famous movie star. I didn't know that when we met in the coffee shop, chatting like long-time friends. I said he reminded me of someone in a movie I'd been dragged to last year. Now he wants me to be his fake girlfriend. Me. I live in the same small town I grew up in. I write steamy romance. Well, I do when the characters cooperate, which they haven't lately. He's trying to convince movie execs he can make the switch from action films to rom-coms. All I need to do is pretend to be his girlfriend, helping him demonstrate his romantic side. How hard can that be? He's sexy, and charming, and funny. A real-life template for my favorite kind of romance hero. Exactly the inspiration I need right now. I just need to pretend I'm not falling for him. Turns out that's a lot harder than I ever expected. Sean She's a snarky and sexy fairy-tale princess. I couldn't resist trying to get her attention in the coffee shop. I used a cheesy line I hadn't tried since college, saying she looked just like my buddy's sister. Only she went along with it. Next thing I know we're trading wildly creative stories about her crazy brother—who doesn't even exist. I think I started falling for her right then. This fake relationship gives us all kinds of fun times together. She's teaching me about romance heroes. I'm turning her into a fan of my movies. Everything is going great. Looks like I'll get the rom-com. But now I want something more. I persuaded this amazing woman to be my fake girlfriend. Can I convince her to be my real one?
