A Friends-to-Lovers, Fake Dating Hollywood Romance
Book Four of The Backlot Series

Nothing says true love like a well-rehearsed lie.

Stella Rhodes can sell anyone's story -- except her own. As a rising talent agent in Hollywood, she's built her career managing egos, spin, and expectations. So when her Southern mother announces a surprise visit and expects to meet Stella's boyfriend, Stella does what she does best: she improvises.

The problem is, she doesn't actually have one.

Brandon Grimaldi has spent his career risking everything as a stuntman, but pretending to be Stella's devoted boyfriend might be the most dangerous role he's ever taken on. They've been friends for years. Neighbors. Part of the same tight-knit Hollywood circle. Faking a relationship should be easy. Until it isn't.

Hand-holding turns into heat. Fake dates start to feel real. And the longer they play their parts, the harder it becomes to ignore what's been building between them all along.

In a city where everything is staged, Stella and Brandon must decide what's worth risking -- careers, friendships, or the chance at something real.

Behind the Scenes features:

• friends-to-lovers chemistry

• fake dating that blurs into something real

• forced proximity between neighbors

• a stuntman hero who falls hard

• a smart, ambitious heroine navigating expectation and desire

• open-door spice with heart

Perfect for readers who love emotional slow burns, fake relationships that get messy, and Hollywood romances where friendship is the most dangerous place to fall in love.
