Carter Moon's quiet small-town life gets a serious shake-up when a movie crew, complete with a charming-but-troubled former child star, Adam Jakes, lands in her backyard. Suddenly, she's offered a hefty paycheck to fake a relationship with Adam for the tabloids, a deal her family desperately needs. What starts as a strictly business arrangement quickly blurs the lines as Carter discovers Adam is more than his public persona. This book has a bright, easygoing feel, like a perfect summer read, balancing witty banter with genuine emotional beats. It's a heartwarming dive into the fake dating trope, perfect for anyone who loves watching characters find themselves and unexpected romance amidst a little bit of Hollywood chaos.
