About the book

Rachel never meant to become part of anyone’s brand. It starts with moving back home, a bruised ego, and an offer she should have laughed off.

Nick is one of the internet’s biggest gaming stars — careful, controlled, and far more comfortable behind a screen than in front of his own feelings. His career needs momentum. Rachel needs a paycheck. The solution? Fake dating.

The rules are simple: public coffee dates, a few staged appearances, and absolutely no real feelings. But somewhere between late-night stream lessons, an accidental one-bed disaster, and a kiss the internet can’t stop talking about, the line between performance and reality begins to blur.

As public attention grows and private feelings get harder to ignore, Rachel and Nick have to decide what they’re willing to protect — and what they’re finally ready to make real. Because in a world built on views, speculation, and carefully crafted stories, love might be the one thing they can’t afford to fake.

Fake Gaming is a fake-dating gamer romance about privacy, vulnerability, and choosing each other when the cameras are off.
