They agreed to play pretend-falling in love wasn’t part of the deal. Millie Schofield’s life is in shambles-drowning in debt, grieving her beloved aunt, and barely holding herself together. The last thing she expects is for Noah King, infuriatingly charming bad-boy surfing star, to sweep back into her life with a ludicrous proposition: be his fake girlfriend for the summer and pocket enough cash to turn her life around. Against her better judgement, she says yes. After all, what could possibly go wrong? Noah King’s spent years riding waves and perfecting his reputation as surfing’s favourite playboy, but after a drunken arrest and too many headlines, his career is on the brink of collapse. Desperate to salvage his image and secure his future, he turns to Millie-the squeaky-clean girl from high school he never imagined needing. Pretending to be her perfect boyfriend seems like the perfect plan. It’s just business. No strings attached. No feelings allowed. As stolen glances and unexpected moments draw them closer, their carefully constructed boundaries begin to blur. Can a relationship built on lies survive the truth-or will they both get swept under the tide of their own emotions? When the waves of life crash hardest, love might be the only thing that keeps you afloat.
