This is Not a Stunt
by Nichols, Cath
Working in the film industry as a stunt performer is rarely as glamorous as the red carpet suggests, and Cath Nichols proves it with this punchy, high-octane romance. The story drops you straight into the chaotic, adrenaline-fueled world of movie sets, where the line between staged drama and real-life friction blurs. Our lead is sharp, capable, and currently stuck in a professional rivalry that feels like a collision course. When a fake-dating arrangement enters the mix, the tension shifts from physical stunts to emotional ones. The pacing is snappy and the dialogue crackles with the kind of quick-witted banter that makes you want to read just one more chapter. This is the perfect pick if you want a workplace romance that feels grounded in real ambition but doesn't take itself too seriously.
