The interview instantly goes viral, and the public is obsessed with them.

But he quickly discovers being with Duffy is much easier than he anticipated, and somehow it doesn't feel fake to him. This secret can only blow up, but all he knows is that if he messes things up with Duffy, it'll be the greatest fumble of his life. Oozing with chemistry that feels like fireworks and banter that makes you swoon, Lynn Painter delivers her signature blend of heart and humor in this love story that you won't soon forget.
