A fake relationship. Twenty-six point two miles. No shortcuts to the truth.
Amy Price does not make reckless decisions. Then, at her ex-girlfriend's engagement party, she announces that she is running the Lake City Marathon-even though she cannot run a mile.
Dani Reyes is the irreverent personal trainer assigned to get Amy to the starting line. She knows the course, the training, and every way a runner can fail. What Amy does not know is that Dani has started the marathon twice and finished neither.
When a couples fitness challenge offers Dani the money she needs for an endurance-coaching certification-and gives Amy the perfect chance to prove she has moved on-fake dating seems like the logical solution. Their rules are precise: train together, perform for the cameras, win the prize, and keep real feelings out of it.
But between six-mile pancake runs, family dinners, one hotel room, and kisses that stop feeling staged, their careful plan becomes impossible to audit. Then Dani makes a race decision without telling Amy, putting their trust-and their future-on the line.
To reach their happily ever after, both women must decide whether love means never stopping...or choosing honesty when the next step is uncertain.
