Pretend Hearts

When meticulous event planner Olivia Grant is dumped days before her sister’s wedding, panic drives her to a desperate solution: ask her quiet, devastatingly handsome neighbor Theo Carter to pretend to be her boyfriend for one weekend. What starts as a simple favor—no strings, no feelings—quickly turns complicated as pretending becomes effortless… and dangerously real.

Across rehearsals, weddings, family interrogations, and shared late-night truths, the lines between performance and honesty blur. As old insecurities surface and real emotions break through the script, Olivia and Theo must decide whether their connection was just a convenient lie—or the start of something genuine they never planned for.

Warm, witty, and emotionally grounded, Pretend Hearts is a slow-burn romance about fake dating gone wrong in the best way—where vulnerability replaces polish, love grows without a plan, and the most real relationships often begin as the biggest mistakes.
