Sometimes, pretending can feel a little too real...

In Pretence Of Love, Carol Gregor spins a gripping tale of emotional deception, unexpected attraction, and the messy road to true connection. This classic romance dives headfirst into the complications of faking feelings—and the danger of what happens when the pretense starts to feel like the real thing.

The story follows a woman who agrees to a relationship built on lies—at least on the surface. Whether it’s for convenience, protection, or a strategic cover-up, she tells herself it’s just temporary. But nothing is ever simple when hearts are involved. Especially not when the man she’s pretending to love starts breaking down her walls, making her feel things she swore she never would again.

Carol Gregor does a brilliant job of creating emotional tension between two people who are trying to maintain control but can’t help getting pulled deeper into each other’s orbit. There’s angst. There’s conflict. There’s undeniable chemistry simmering just beneath the surface. It’s a slow burn, but one that pays off with every twist of the plot and shift in emotion.

Perfect for readers who love emotionally charged romances with complicated characters, slow reveals, and powerful resolutions. And if you’re looking to get swept away by a classic love story full of heart and heat, Pretence Of Love is your next read.
