Straight answer first: almost 9,900 people search this exact phrase every month, and it doesn't map to one verified title anywhere. It maps to a trope: an accidental kiss, a CEO who is unreasonably pleased about it, and a fake relationship that gets complicated fast. On NanoReads, that's Kiss Me, Fake It, a Paris-set, six-chapter serial by Anika D'Souza.
It's shorter than most of our billionaire shelf on purpose. Some of these searches want a hundred-chapter commitment; this one is built for a single sitting, and we'd rather tell you that up front than pad expectations you didn't ask for.
💼 Why this exact kiss keeps getting searched
The "he liked it" part is the whole joke. Fake-dating only works as a trope if the fakery cracks on-camera, and a paparazzi flash catching a staged kiss that clearly wasn't staged is the cleanest version of that crack there is. Lila Moreau, the artist at the center of Kiss Me, Fake It, spills paint on a stranger's shirt at a Paris gallery and ends up a month later pretending to be his girlfriend for exactly this reason. The pretending stops being convincing to either of them somewhere around chapter two, titled, tellingly, "Rules of the Game."
If you're mapping the wider genre before you commit an evening, our billionaire romance hub and its sister page, boss & CEO romance, both track what's trending in this cluster, and the billionaire romance roundup ranks the wider shelf if six chapters isn't enough.
"Lila Moreau swore under her breath. The Paris Art Gallery buzzed with fancy heels and champagne flutes, but her canvas, her big break, teetered on a shaky easel. She lunged to steady it. Too late."— Chapter 1, "Paint and Promises," Kiss Me, Fake It

⏱️ How free reading works here
Chapter one of any serial is free, no account required. After that, a new chapter unlocks free every 8 hours in the app, or you can skip the wait for around 30 coins a chapter. Since Kiss Me, Fake It is only six chapters, most readers finish it on the free-timer alone within a day. If you're coming from an app that meters every episode differently, our Galatea alternatives guide breaks down how the coin models compare.
