STAGED: A Cupid/Psyche Fake Dating Novella

---

Alma Blake is looking for a way out of town.
 

A talented theater actor, she’s between roles and done with the way her high-powered attorney turned politician father tries to dictate her decisions. When a nightclub owner offers her a job pretending to be his girlfriend during opening weekend, she takes the opportunity.
 

There is a catch: she can’t see his face or know his last name.
 

Will Caron knows his mother’s plan is a bad one.
 

But he’s given a choice: either he entraps her rival’s daughter in a scandal, or he loses the funding for his club. He doesn’t expect to fall for Alma or the lengths his mother will go through to make sure he gets the job done.
 

It's just three nights. They won't fall for their own acting.
 

Each fake kiss is leading them down a dead-end road, and when the weekend is over, Will and Alma will both be left to pick up the pieces.
