The Deal: Sunset City Secrets Book 2 (Clean Contemporary Romance)

A struggling artist agrees to a fake engagement with her best friend in exchange for a chance at her dream career…only to fall for the man she thought she knew. Lana’s world is unraveling. She’s just lost her gallery job, her artistic dreams are stalled, and her mother longs to return to England but can’t afford the trip. When her best friend Jake offers a deal she can’t refuse, a fake engagement in exchange for career help and funding her mom’s dream, Lana says yes. What starts as a simple charade turns unexpectedly personal. As Lana secretly auditions for Jake’s video game under a mysterious alias, Jake finds himself drawn to her voice, and someone he doesn’t realize is already in his life. Add in a shared past, a tangle of miscommunications, and a farewell kiss that lingers too long, and suddenly the line between fiction and reality is hard to hold. Set against the sun-soaked canals of Santa Monica, Venice Beach and the electric pulse of arts and entertainment, The Deal is a heart-tugging clean romantic comedy about finding your voice, chasing your passion, and falling for the one person you never expected.
