The Sweetest Deception

Best friends. A little white lie. One unforgettable summer.

Noah and Emma would do anything for each other. They've always been inseparable—breakfast dates at Larry's Diner, movie nights with pizza and wine from quirky mugs, and trips to the annual Firecracker Festival (where Emma's baking business now has a booth!).

So when Emma asks Noah to pretend to be her boyfriend at her cousin's wedding, he agrees without hesitation. What's the big deal? It's just for show… right?

But suddenly, nothing feels the same:

• Small touches linger a little too long
• Jealousy pops up in the unlikeliest moments
• An undeniable attraction simmers beneath the surface

Are they just caught up in the act…or is the lie of "just friends" really the sweetest deception of all?

A heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance filled with humor, heart, and the kind of chemistry that makes you believe in second chances at first love.
