Married for a Month

Actor Mason Rivera never expected his father’s company to collapse overnight—or that the only way to save it would involve fake “I do’s” with billionaire recluse Julian Blackthorne. Once just friends-with-benefits, the two men find themselves thrust into a marriage of convenience designed to calm investors, silence the press, and convince the world they’re the perfect couple.

For Mason, it’s supposed to be simple—play the part, smile for the cameras, and get through thirty days without falling for the man who makes him burn with equal parts desire and frustration. For Julian, control is everything, and opening his heart has never been an option. But when staged kisses start to linger and late-night banter turns into something dangerously intimate, neither can keep pretending the lines aren’t blurring.

Paparazzi flashes, whispered rumors, and the weight of their deal push them closer together—and further toward the truth neither is ready to face. Behind closed doors, passion ignites. In public, their chemistry convinces the world. But as the end of the month looms, Mason and Julian must decide: was it all an act, or have their fake vows become something real enough to risk everything for?

When the curtain falls, will they walk away as strangers…or finally admit they’ve been falling in love all along?
