Samantha
It seems fate takes pleasure in watching me fall. I thought I’d gotten used to its blows, but this one is the cruelest. To save the family business, I’ll have to ask for help from the person I hate with all my heart. To become a “not real” girl for someone whose heart is made of ice. The conditions are clear: no feelings—only flawless performance for the public. But what if, behind this fragile stage act, something real starts to take shape? And what if we make an irreversible mistake by letting ourselves step outside the rules?
Mike
For as long as I can remember, my life has been a chain of misses. I put things in order—built everything anew—and still, in one moment, my perfect world cracked. To earn the long-awaited partnership in the company, I have to prove I can think about more than just work. I struck a deal with Samantha and convinced her to play the role of my girlfriend, not imagining what it would lead to. Now my future depends on her—one word from her could destroy everything I’ve built over the years. But next to her, the world becomes bright again.
Samantha Hayes—my curse or my salvation?
“Perfect Mistake” is a story about pretend love that inevitably changes the lives of its heroes. Sometimes it’s a carefully staged lie that becomes the beginning of real feelings.
