Not Just Pretend

<p><strong>Not Just Pretend</strong></p><p>What happens when a fake relationship with your best friend starts to feel a little too real?</p><p><strong>Nate</strong> has always had one rule: never risk his friendship with <strong>Lili</strong>. She's the one person who knows his secrets believes in his music dreams and has been by his side through everything. But when a clingy groupie starts spreading rumors Nate blurts out the only solution he can think of: pretend to date Lili.</p><p>For Lili agreeing to play Nate's girlfriend felt like no big deal-at first. She never imagined that every kiss meant to fool the world would leave her heart racing or that pretending to be in love would start to blur into something dangerous and real.</p><p>Now friendship and love are colliding in ways neither of them expected. Every touch feels like a promise every kiss makes the lie harder to believe and every moment together risks the only thing they swore they'd never lose: each other.</p>
