How to Fake It in Hollywood

In this seductive debut for lovers of Beach Read and The Unhoneymooners, a gifted Hollywood starlet and a reclusive A-lister start a fictitious romance only to find out that their emotions could be more than just a publicity gimmick.

Now that her long-running adolescent soap opera has come to an end, Grey Brooks is trying desperately to save her career by hitting the streets once again. She's finally desperate enough to go in to her publicist's idea, which involves pretending to be in love with a disgraced Hollywood idol who wants the spotlight for very opposite reasons, all in the hopes of landing a part that may change her life.

All Ethan Atkins wants is to be left in peace. He's progressively faded into the background due to his public divorce, drinking issues, and mourning at the loss of his closest friend and lifelong creative partner. But Ethan has to clear his record and return to the public eye if he hopes to create the final film he and his partner made together. Even though it's the last thing he wants to do, a gossip-worthy romance with a stunning actress may be the solution.

Even while Grey and Ethan's lustful public relationship isn't flawless behind the scenes, it doesn't take long for their explosive chemistry to seem like more than just a show. But are they too used to fake it to allow themselves to be vulnerable to the real thing after decades in a brutal job where survival demands impregnable emotional armor?
