Enter Caleb Foster: rough, honest, and nothing like the man I used to love. Our marriage was supposed to be fake, but somewhere between shared meals and silent nights, I found the kind of devotion I never thought I deserved.

He was Chicago’s golden boy, left holding 999 roses and a shattered ego—until I, the broke twin nobody noticed, stepped in. Carter Voss just got rejected by my sister, but I saw an opportunity: why not sell his heartbreak—and maybe steal his heart? I never planned to confess my feelings (or get caught reselling his roses for rent money), but now the city’s watching, my rival sister is out for blood, and Carter’s birthday invite lands in my inbox. Suddenly, I’m crashing the party of the year with nothing but a homemade gift and a chip on my shoulder. If love is a hustle, can the underdog really win—or will Chicago’s high society eat me alive?
