Things We Never Said: A Sweet Fake Fiancé Romantic Comedy (Healing in Costa Rica)

Rory Lane has exactly forty-eight hours to find a fake fiancé before she walks into her cousin's luxury Costa Rican wedding as the family's most spectacular disaster on record.

Between a final warning at work and an eviction notice courtesy of her chaos-causing pet bird, Rory's life is spectacularly off the rails. Showing up solo to a destination wedding full of relatives who already think she's a mess? Absolutely not. What she needs is a convincing partner, a little borrowed dignity, and a weekend of flawless deception.

What she gets is her best friend's twin brother.

He's successful, infuriatingly composed, and has spent years being the human embodiment of everything that gets under Rory's skin. She's spent just as long making sure he knows exactly how she feels about him. They are, in every meaningful sense, each other's nemesis. But with no other options and a flight leaving tomorrow, Rory makes the deal of her life.

The plan is simple: smile, hold hands, convince the family, fly home, forget it happened. Simple — until the tropical heat of Costa Rica starts blurring the line between performance and something dangerously real. Turns out fake tenderness and genuine chemistry are surprisingly difficult to tell apart, especially when your sworn enemy keeps looking at you like that.

*Things We Never Said* is a swoony, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about the words we've been too stubborn to say — and what happens when we finally run out of excuses not to.
