When French spa manager Emma Lavalle downloads a dating app after eight years of London loneliness, she thinks she's found her perfect match in Ronnie Blake-a charming contractor with soulful eyes and a poet's heart. Their month-long digital courtship feels like destiny, until Emma discovers that Ronnie's photos belong to Adem Kaya, a Turkish model who has no idea his identity is being stolen.
Devastated but determined, Emma contacts the real Adem to warn him about the deception. What begins as a courtesy message evolves into something unexpected: genuine friendship with a man who is everything his stolen photos suggested but infinitely more real. As Emma helps track down her catfisher, she finds herself falling for Adem-not his perfect images, but his authentic, complicated, thoroughly human self.
Faced with a choice between the safety of her carefully constructed London life and the terrifying possibility of love in Istanbul, Emma must decide whether she's brave enough to trust again. Can she distinguish between digital fantasy and authentic connection? Is it possible to build real love after fake love?
Love, Unfiltered is a contemporary romantic drama about second chances, digital deception, and the courage required to choose authenticity over illusion. Emma's journey from naive victim to empowered advocate explores how our worst betrayals can become our greatest strengths, and how real love-messy, imperfect, and wonderfully human-always trumps the beautiful lies we tell ourselves about romance.
