Ethan & Lucy is a sizzling, slow-burn romance that starts with a lie and spirals into something heartbreakingly real.

When Ethan Blackwood, a successful architect under mounting family pressure, hires a stranger to pose as his girlfriend for a weekend wedding, he expects convenience—not chaos. Lucy has her reasons for saying yes: a five-thousand-dollar payday that could change her sister’s life. But what begins as a calculated arrangement soon blurs into something neither of them saw coming.

Between nosy relatives, unexpected kisses, and a chemistry that refuses to stay fake, Ethan and Lucy are forced to ask the one question they swore they’d avoid: what if pretending was just the beginning?

This is a story about vulnerability, loyalty, and love found in the unlikeliest of places. Packed with sharp banter, emotional depth, and off-the-charts tension, Ethan & Lucy is for anyone who’s ever tried not to fall—and failed spectacularly.
