Fake dating schemes set in London theatre
Enemies-to-lovers with sharp banter and backstage drama

From Little Stack

There are so many stories of legendary actors with scorching chemistry on-screen who hated one another once the director called "cut." On the West End stage in Lucy Parker's sparky novel, Elaine and Richard have no desire to make the professional become personal. But when a tabloid claims the pair are dating, the producers of their struggling show suggest a show romance to help boost sales (and surly Richard's waning reputation.) Are they good enough actors to pull it off or will real life get in the way?

Have the tides turned? Has English rose Lainie Graham made him into a new man? Sources say the mismatched pair has been spotted at multiple events, arm in arm and hip to hip. From fits of jealousy to longing looks and heated whispers, onlookers are stunned by this blooming romance.

Could the rumors be right? Could this unlikely romance be the real thing? Or are these gifted stage actors playing us all?
