Faking It for Fall: Their Deal Was Temporary. The Chemistry? Anything But.

When Savannah Hale returns to her small hometown to reset her life, the last thing she expects is to run into Liam Brooks—her old high school crush turned broody brewery owner. Desperate to avoid awkward questions at a family wedding, Savannah agrees to a fake dating arrangement with Liam. It’s a simple plan: show up, smile, survive the event, and walk away unscathed.

But neither of them planned on real feelings getting involved.

As cozy fall days turn into fire-lit nights, Savannah and Liam begin blurring the lines between pretending and wanting more. Beneath the teasing banter and picture-perfect moments, they’re both hiding fears of getting hurt again—and when the truth comes out, the illusion of safety shatters.

Now, with everything on the line—family expectations, career decisions, and their own guarded hearts—they’ll have to decide if what they’ve built can survive outside the fantasy.

Can a fake relationship built on borrowed time lead to something real… or will it fall apart with the leaves?
