They staged a romance, faked a breakup, and this time around, anything can happen--even something real. Thea Pappas has always been the storm in her own life--fiery and unpredictable--traits that led her and her younger sister, Addy, through a series of foster homes. But with Addy's whirlwind engagement, Thea is determined to be the perfect maid of honor, even if she finds it odd that she hadn't heard of the fianc until the ring was on Addy's finger. She believes she can survive a week in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a group of strangers without causing any trouble. But upon arrival, Thea realizes these aren't strangers. Among the familiar faces is Owen Hayes--the man who, three years ago, paid her to pretend to be his girlfriend at a family wedding. Now, he's looking at her with the same panicked expression. Owen's life has always been about control--managing his mother's matchmaking schemes, his family's expectations, and the career path he never truly chose. Thea was his one rebellion, a beautiful lie that ended with a "heart-destroying" fake breakup. Now, with his younger brother's wedding underway and his mother on the prowl, Owen begs Thea to reprise their roles. One week. Same fake breakup. No feelings. But as old sparks reignite and the lines between pretense and reality blur, Thea and Owen will have to choose: carry on their greatest performance yet or admit the truth--that it was never fake at all.

After Juliana's husband dies unexpectedly, leaving her with two grieving kids and a stunted career from years as a stay-at-home mum, she has no choice but to make it work all alone. That is until, on her first day back at work, she overhears her new colleague, the condescending but infuriatingly attractive Ben, talking about how her kids and inexperience are a liability the company can’t afford. This sets off a feud between the two, as Juliana vows to prove him wrong. Two years later, their feud rages on, but it may be charged with something they aren't willing to admit. When they are forced onto a career-making project together, Juliana has no choice but to call a truce. And, as their lives become more intertwined, the truce quickly turns into something more. Could the man she deemed her nemesis understand her life–her stress and responsibilities–better than anyone? She finds it hard to ignore Ben's perpetual smile and charming determination, and what used to be boardroom-clearing arguments turn into desk-clearing kisses. But just when Juliana decides to open her heart again, Ben’s past threatens their newfound bliss, and she has to figure out whether this second chance at love is worth it after all.
