Not Part of the Plan

Ever since her fiancé called off their wedding, neuroscientist Gracia has been focused on one thing: securing funding for her research. Romance is not part of the plan. But when her best friend begs her to be her plus-one to a wedding, Gracia finds herself face-to-face with the one person she never expected to see again: the ex-fiancé. And he’s with his new girlfriend. Desperate to save face, Gracia blurts out that she’s seeing someone too. And then she points to a random man across the room. Kaito is in town for one reason: to perform with his band. The last thing he needs is to be dragged into a stranger’s messy past. But something about Gracia’s panic—and her beautiful eyes—convinces him to play along. What starts as a fake date soon turns into something very real. But Kaito’s music career is in Tokyo, and Gracia’s life is in Seattle. They both know their fling is temporary…so why does it feel so right?
