Connie has always been wary of nice guys, believing they hide dark secrets. When she meets Henry Samuel Beckett, or Beck, an editor who is the epitome of sweetness, she can't help but be drawn to him. However, Beck has a secret of his own: he's told everyone at his publishing house that he's married, and Connie, in a moment of defense, becomes his fake wife. As they attend a writing retreat together, the line between pretend and reality blurs, especially when they share their first kiss and find themselves sharing a bed. The simmering tension between them grows, making Connie question if their fake marriage might become something real after all. The story is a delightful blend of humor and romance, filled with witty banter and heartwarming moments. It explores the complexities of relationships and the unexpected turns life can take when we least expect it. With its charming characters and engaging plot, 'My Big Fat Fake Marriage' is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good love story with a twist.
