About this ebook
An internet star crafts a fake relationship with a small-town boy to rehab her image only to develop real feelings in this sweeping romance perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Rachael Lippincott.
Love Thompson has it all: 50 million followers, brand deals, PR packages at her Hollywood mansion doorstep. Until…she doesn’t.
After she takes the blame for her influencer boyfriend’s mistake, the fallout goes even more viral than the video that skyrocketed her to fame. And even though she’s technically innocent, by the next morning she’s already lost sponsorships and 10 million followers. Love needs to rehab her image. Fast. And that means dating someone a little more homegrown.
Enter: Austin Grey. Austin is about as down to earth as it gets. His only followers are the regulars at his family’s struggling diner he’s doing his best to save. But everything changes when he gets a DM from an internet star from his past he never expected to cross paths with again.
When Love walks back into Austin’s life, they both think this is a purely online scheme with an expiration date. But as real feelings start to develop that keep them coming back to each other again and again, will either of them be willing to take a chance on something real?
