The Island Scandal

In the sun-drenched haven of Getaway Bay, one little white lie is about to turn a lifelong friendship into the ultimate fake dating scandal.

Thirty-five-year-old Ashley Fox wouldn’t trade her breezy island life for anything. Between caring for her ailing parents and pouring her heart into her custom bridal shop, her days are full. But surrounded by stunning gowns and weddings every weekend, she’s beginning to wonder if her own dream of walking down the aisle will ever come true.

Her best friend and morning running partner, Burke Lawson, is the exact opposite. As a notoriously unattached billionaire heir, Burke hides a fiercely guarded heartbreak behind a carefree player persona.

When Burke’s father threatens to withhold the family’s multi-billion-dollar floral empire unless he finally “settles down,” Burke needs a believable girlfriend—fast. He asks Ashley for a massive favor: be his date for just one night. Harboring a secret crush on him for years, she agrees to the fake dating arrangement.

But their innocent ruse spins wildly out of control when Burke panics and blurts out that they’re actually engaged. That’s right – engaged – and that sparks a massive island scandal that has this whole small town talking.

As they navigate the spotlight, their pretend romance ignites into a delicious, captivating, very real thing behind closed doors. Burke quickly realizes that playing the devoted fiancé to Ashley is the best thing that's ever happened to him. But to make the leap from best friends to lovers, they’ll both have to risk the safety of their lifelong friendship and finally bare their true feelings…
