Iris Morris has successfully dodged her mother's relentless chaos, but her hard-won peace shatters when Lucas Andrews crashes her interview and infiltrates not just her professional sphere, but her mind. Lucas Andrews is singularly driven: launching Adder magazine to the top of global bestseller rankings. When Iris's unwavering passion for editing converges with his promise to his ailing mother, he finds himself drawn to her in ways that have nothing to do with ambition. A persistent "fan girl's" obsession forces his hand—a fake dating arrangement seems like the perfect solution. What starts as calculated strategy ignites into genuine chemistry, dismantling the carefully constructed walls they've both built. As their pretend relationship deepens, Iris uncovers the vulnerabilities beneath Lucas's relentless ambition, while he realizes her editorial genius pales beside her ability to make him crave something beyond success.
