Would You Rather

Noah and Mia have been inseparable since they met, and their bond is the thing each of them values most. Noah's career is thriving: a promotion is within reach, and he loves the work he does. Mia is in a holding pattern while she waits for a kidney transplant. Stuck in a job with no future, and determined not to become a weight on anyone, she has closed the door on romance altogether.

When an opportunity arrives to return to school and chase the career she has always wanted, Mia faces a painful choice. Leaving her job would cost her the health insurance she cannot do without, so she cannot simply walk away. Noah offers a solution: they marry on paper, with no intention of a real marriage, so Mia can study full-time while keeping her coverage. Both of them have a lot riding on the arrangement, including their careers, Mia's health and their feelings for one another.

Keeping up the pretense will not be easy. Skeptical coworkers and curious roommates will need to be won over before anyone believes the couple is genuine. The story asks whether two friends who have spent years guarding their hearts can set aside what holds them back and discover they want to stay together.
