REED

I've always been the guy everyone knows by name or voice, who people want to be friends with and who some people want to be. As the lead singer of the rock band Young Decay, I've been able to stay true to that person. However, the one thing that's always been my downfall is never turning down a challenge. Maybe that's why when plus-size model and actress, Wren Kelly, approaches me about a fake dating scheme her publicist worked up, I barely hesitate before agreeing to it. Have I mentioned how much she absolutely hates me?

WREN

I've lived my life behind a mask I have no intention of shedding—not for any acting role, not for any friend, and most especially, not for any relationship. My publicist thinks she has a genius plan: fake date everyone's favorite bad boy rockstar, Reed Matthews, hoping to turn the public's eye in a more positive direction. The only problem is that he's everything I can never have. Amidst our heated arguments and the public's scrutinizing gaze, I feel him chipping away at the walls I've spent years curating. With more press watching my every move, the demons from my past quickly begin catching up with me and threatening everything I care about. Reed wants this to be real. He wants us to go on being together even after the stunt is over. But every story has to have an ending. And no story I've ever lived through has had a happy one.
