Heartless Hunk

He’s the bad boy America loves to hate. She’s the widow who swore she’d never love again. Their fake relationship was just a cover story, until the sparks became too real to ignore. But beneath the chemistry and stolen kisses, a devastating secret threatens to destroy it all.

Violet Markle enjoyed a successful life in New York City, until her husband’s sudden death shattered everything. When she’s forced to return to her small hometown in Maine, she dreads facing the whispers, the sympathy, and the memories she left behind.

Oliver Adams is a reality TV villain with six-pack abs and a PR crisis. After being branded the “Heartless Hunk” on national television, he needs a reset––somewhere quiet and far away from the tabloids.

Vi’s scheming best friend devises a wild plan to help them both hide from their pain… Pretend to be a couple. One weekend. No emotions. No entanglements. Easy... Right?

But in a charming small town full of nosy neighbors, cozy diners, and seaside sunsets, fake love starts to feel dangerously real. And when laughter turns to longing, and teasing turns to touch, Violet and Oliver are about to find out that faking it was the easy part.

Falling for each other? That could ruin everything.
