Best friends. One fake relationship. Zero chance either of them was actually pretending.

Project manager Priya Desai has spent her whole career proving she's unshakeable — and project manager Marcus Cole has spent his proving he's not just the "fun" Cole brother. When their studio lands its first out-of-state development, the two of them are sent to a lakeside town for a two-week site visit... and one very persistent client who assumes they're already a couple.

Keeping up the ruse should be simple. It's not — not when pretending to date your best friend of four years starts feeling less like acting and more like finally admitting the truth. Between late-night sketching sessions, a lakeside almost-kiss, and two people slowly setting down every wall they've ever built, Priya and Marcus have to decide if a friendship this good is worth risking for something even better.

The Site Visit is Book 2 in the Marlowe & Cole series — a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance with banter, big feelings, and a swoon-worthy HEA. Reads as a standalone; even sweeter if you've already fallen for Sunny and Adam in Book 1.
