"Pretend to be my partner."

Those five words were supposed to solve one problem.

Adrian Hale—the city's most charming lawyer and Chief Legal Officer of Atlas Holdings—needs a fake partner to survive his wealthy family's relentless matchmaking.

One harmless lie.

A few charity galas.

Some family dinners.

Maybe a staged kiss if absolutely necessary.

Easy.

Except Adrian is annoyingly attentive.

He remembers your coffee order after hearing it once.

He notices when you're tired before you do.

He reaches for your hand even when nobody's watching.

He keeps looking at you across crowded rooms like he forgot this was all supposed to be fake.

He's a master negotiator who can dismantle billion-pound deals without breaking a sweat...

...yet somehow becomes completely speechless when his feelings are involved.

Now you're trapped in an endless parade of luxury parties, intrusive relatives, paparazzi, and suspicious best friends—especially Graham Shaw, who's already convinced Adrian is hopelessly in love.

The problem?

Adrian still thinks he's pretending.

Your fake boyfriend is a ridiculously charming millionaire lawyer with a silver tongue, a rich family desperate to marry him off, and absolutely zero understanding that he's falling in love with you.

I made a quiz to find out which one is best suited for you <3

Janitor will not let me upload their moodboards. So I made a Notion page where I put some info about this series and the collages I made. Hope you like them.
