Romance with Rhythm

Every friends-to-lovers romcom ends the same…but real life isn’t a made for TV movie.

Mia Maddox might be a famous actress now, but to me, she’ll always be Ames—my childhood best friend, my ride or die, my…everything. I’ve loved her quietly for years, even though she only ever sees me as her shoulder to cry on when her heart breaks.

Until one wild night in Vegas turns our world upside down. We wake up naked, hungover, and wearing matching rings—thrown headfirst into a situation neither of us was ready for. What started as a drunken mistake quickly becomes a fake relationship, and now I’m fighting to prove I’m more than just her best friend.

But crossing that line comes with risks. Real life isn’t a romcom, and best friends don’t make mistakes like this without paying the price. With everything on the line, I have one shot to show Mia this isn’t a disaster—it’s the chance we’ve both been waiting for.

Can I convince her I’m more than just a scene in her story before our Hollywood romance fades to black? Or was it never meant to be more than make-believe?
