Desire and the Deep Blue Sea (Love Unscripted, Band 1)

Viac o knihe

They're pretending. Until they aren't. Thomas McKinney has never desired a woman as much as he does Callie Adesso. Since she joined him at the Colonial Marysburg Research Library, he's been a bundle of nerves, fumbling with pencils and struggling to focus on anything but her, despite her inconvenient boyfriend. But when Callie suddenly finds herself single and needs a last-minute faux-boyfriend for HATV's Island Match, Thomas eagerly steps in, hoping to show her that a week together isn't enough. Callie finds Thomas irritating, despite his brilliance, kindness, and good looks. He turns her workdays into anxiety-filled experiences. She’s convinced that even a week in paradise with him won’t change her mind. However, as they pretend to be in love for the show, their time together becomes more than just an act. On the island, they spend sun-soaked days under scrutiny, and Thomas sees this as his last chance to win Callie over. As the heat of the island intensifies, so does the chemistry between them, leaving both questioning their initial feelings. What started as a charade may just lead to something real, blurring the lines between pretense and genuine connection.
