In a first from Sarah Zane, this sapphic rivals-to-lovers fake dating popstar romcom brings the heat with its spice. Savannah Hollywood's life is crumbling. Her marriage is over and her soon-to-be ex-husband has been spreading nasty rumors questioning her fidelity. It’s only a matter of time before the gossip starts to affect her career. She’s been in the business long enough to know the only way to stop a rumor is with a bigger story. The only thing bigger than the lies her ex has been peddling is coming out of the closet and living her truth as a bisexual woman, but with her false reputation as a man eater, she's not sure the public will believe the truth. Hiring a fake girlfriend seemed like the best option at the time. The plan? Orchestrate a whirlwind romance, go viral, and solidify Savannah's status as a bisexual icon, or a bi-con as their PR team insists on calling her. It sounds simple enough. Unfortunately for Savannah, the fake girlfriend isn't some stranger, as planned, but her ex-best friend and former costar. Things may have ended badly between them, but seeing Maya for the first time in years fuels a desire in Savannah, a desire that she's determined to ignore. Hard as she tries, she can't avoid the truth; the relationship might be fake, but her desire isn't.
