Plot
Defne Topal is a young waitress trying to support her family. When she urgently needs money because of her brother Serdar’s debts, she becomes involved in a plan to make Ömer İplikçi fall in love with her, marry her and then leave him. Ömer is a wealthy shoe designer who has built his own brand and prefers to focus on his work rather than follow his family’s marriage plans. Their paths cross at the restaurant where Defne works. The plan organized by Neriman affects not only Defne and Ömer but also their family and professional circles. As the pretend relationship develops, it moves beyond the terms of the original arrangement, and love, trust, secrets and business rivalry become the central sources of conflict.

Production and international distribution context
Kiralık Aşk was produced by Ortaks Yapım and broadcast on Star TV. The Star TV archive contains episode and trailer records extending to episode 69. An international distribution catalogue gives the verified English title as “Love for Rent” and classifies the series as a romantic comedy centered on the meeting of shoe designer Ömer and financially struggling waitress Defne.
The relationship game, trust and workplace rivalry
The series is driven by an externally organized romance plan that gradually changes into genuine emotion. Star TV episode summaries show that the relationship between Defne and Ömer develops alongside conflicts involving Passionis, collections, partnerships and competition in the design business. The romantic-comedy premise therefore progresses together with family interference and professional rivalry.
