Two college students with a dangerous secret-Lily Calloway and Loren Hale have perfected the art of deception. To the outside world, they're the golden couple: she, the shy heiress to the Fizzle beverage empire; he, the charismatic son of a baby product mogul. But their picture-perfect relationship hides devastating truths. Lily battles an overwhelming sex addiction that sends her seeking anonymous hookups while Lo drowns himself in bourbon to numb his pain. For three years, they've maintained an elaborate charade, using their "relationship" as cover for their self-destruction. Their arrangement is both lifeline and poison-they protect each other's secrets while enabling the very behaviors destroying them. What happens when a relationship built on mutual deception faces the ultimate test: the possibility of genuine love beneath the dysfunction?
