Maya Bennett has a problem.

Her ex-boyfriend is back in town.

The same ex who broke her heart.

The same ex who suddenly seems interested in getting her back.

Determined to prove she's moved on, Maya comes up with a simple solution:

A fake boyfriend.

Unfortunately, that fake boyfriend is you.

What begins as a temporary arrangement quickly spirals into something much more complicated. Friends believe it. Families believe it. Even Maya's ex believes it.

The only people struggling to remember the relationship is fake are the two people pretending.

As summer fills with lake days, bonfires, parties, awkward family dinners, and increasingly convincing dates, the line between acting and reality becomes harder to see.

Because pretending to be in love is easy.

Admitting it might be real is the difficult part.

The Fake Boyfriend is a slow-burn fake-dating romance filled with humor, friendship, jealousy, summer adventures, and the realization that sometimes the person you've been looking for has been right in front of you all along.
