I Pretended to Love You... Until It Was True

I Pretended to Love You... Until It Became Real
A romantic novel about contracts, lies, and the love that cannot be silenced

What happens when love is born inside a lie?

April doesn't believe in love.
Leo doesn't believe in happy endings.
But fate-and a will full of conditions-forces them to live together for thirty days, pretending to have the perfect relationship... one that doesn't exist.

She needs the money.
He needs to close a chapter from his past.
They both agree to a clear deal: pretend to be in love, no emotional involvement, no crossing the line, nothing real.

But some lies come with an expiration date.
And this is one of them.

What starts as a game of appearances turns into a story full of tension, burning glances, heavy silences, and confessions that come far too late. Because when the heart begins to disobey, no contract can stop it.

I Pretended to Love You... Until It Became Real is a contemporary romance novel that explores what happens when the line between fake and real becomes so thin... you can't tell if you're acting or truly falling in love.

What will you find in this story?
✔️ An enemies-to-lovers romance packed with emotional tension
✔️ A cohabitation contract with clear rules (that don't last long)
✔️ A fake relationship that becomes something much more real
✔️ A hero who doesn't believe in love... until she shows up
✔️ Family secrets, betrayals, and midnight confessions
✔️ A manipulative grandmother with hidden plans
✔️ A secluded cabin, no signal... and no emotional escape
