Description
Performed with immersive duet narration by Vanessa Edwin and Robert Hatchet.
A dream trip to Las Vegas was supposed to be simple: spend time with my brother’s famous hockey-player best friend, enjoy a few poker games, and head home with nothing more than great memories.
Instead, I wake up wearing a wedding ring…and discover my best friend is sleeping beside me.
Marrying Asher was never part of the plan.
We’ve been friends for years, so getting an annulment should be easy. We’ll laugh about our accidental Vegas wedding someday and move on with our lives.
There’s just one problem.
Our wedding photos explode across social media overnight.
Now the entire world believes we’re happily married.
Returning home, neither of us can afford a scandal. I’m finally landing the biggest art commission of my career, while Asher is preparing to launch a charitable foundation tied to his hockey career. Pretending our marriage is real suddenly becomes the easiest way to protect everything we’ve worked for.
Our arrangement seems straightforward: convince everyone we’ve been secretly in love, keep up appearances, and avoid crossing the line that could destroy our long-standing friendship.
But living together reveals a side of Asher I’ve never seen before. He’s thoughtful, supportive, an incredible cook, and always knows how to brighten my day. The longer he calls me his wife, the harder it becomes to remember that this relationship was supposed to be temporary.
What began as a fake marriage starts to feel surprisingly real.
Now I’m left wondering whether Asher has been hiding his true feelings all along—and whether I’m ready to risk our friendship for the chance at something more.
