    Summary

    "You shouldn't be out here," Conrad says without looking at her, even though he's only here so she can be too. "So close to the water when it's this dark."
    Belly sits down anyway. "Then neither should you."

     

    (Belly kisses Conrad that first night, at the bonfire. somehow everything changes and stays the same.)

    Summary

    One year after a devastating broken engagement, Belly seems to have landed on her feet: five hundred thousand Instagram followers, a book deal in the works, and a doting—if mysterious—boyfriend. Two weeks before Christmas, however, her prospective publisher throws a wrench in her perfectly crafted life: they want to meet her camera-shy boyfriend before putting pen to paper...and her camera-shy boyfriend doesn't exist.

    Enter Conrad Fisher: her forever what-if and the real-life inspiration for her fictional boyfriend, back in Boston for the holidays for the first time since literally running out of Belly's life six years earlier.

    What starts as a simple arrangement snowballs into a tangled web of old wounds and even older feelings as the counterfeit couple navigates the holiday season, but who are they really deceiving?
