    Summary

    Rain has always done everything right. He built a successful career, lived a quiet, orderly life, and ignored his family's endless questions about marriage. Cornered at his grandfather's birthday dinner, he blurts out the one thing he never planned to say.
    He is gay.

    Instead of shock, his family is thrilled, and immediately demands to meet his boyfriend.
    The only problem? There is no boyfriend.

    Desperate to end the relentless questions, Rain asks his cold, aloof boss, Phayu, to pretend to be his partner. It seems like the perfect plan... until Phayu plays the role a little too well.

    As fake dates turn into lingering touches and stolen moments, Rain begins to question everything he thought he knew about love.
    Because while Rain has only been pretending... Phayu never was.

    Strictly Pretend is a heartfelt slow-burn romance about fake dating, found family, and discovering that the greatest risk is letting yourself be loved.
