The Stunt by Matilda Martel

Hollywood wants a show. He wants something real. She wants to survive the spotlight.

Emma Rowan is the industry’s newest darling—elegant, talented, and on the brink of stardom after landing her first blockbuster role. She’s determined to prove she belongs in Hollywood… without becoming another headline. But when the studio insists she “date” her co-star during the movie’s promotion, Emma finds herself cornered into playing a part she never wanted.

Especially when that co-star is him.
Asher Dixon is Hollywood royalty—box office gold with a smile the world trusts. He’s done the PR-dating game before, but this time it’s different. This time it’s Emma. Sweet, grounded, breathtaking Emma… the woman who makes him want to blur every line between script and reality.

To everyone else, it’s a stunt.
To him, it’s a second chance at something genuine.
Asher leans into the act with heart-melting charm and expert precision—teaching Emma how to survive fame, shielding her from the industry’s darker corners, and slowly, unmistakably, winning her over. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes for Emma to tell what’s real and what’s expertly staged.

In a world built on illusions, can she trust the one man who’s made a living pretending?

Lights. Camera. Chemistry.
And a fake romance that feels a little too real…
