She needs a fake boyfriend. He needs a cover story. But with a past this complicated, they can only pretend for so long. Oliver Beck is a man with sharp edges, deep secrets, and one never get involved. Until he walks into a café and finds Zahra Nazarian—the girl who shattered him over ten years ago—sitting across the table. She needs a fake boyfriend. He’s hellbent on revenge. Neither of them is ready for the moment their fake relationship stops feeling like business—and starts looking like forever. But with an obsessive ex, family betrayal, and a mountain of secrets between them, their second chance looks less like love written in the stars… and more like an asteroid on a collision course. The Love Hypothesis meets Pride and Prejudice in this angsty, high-heat, slow-burn romance about redemption, revenge, and the kind of love that comes back burning brighter than ever.
