They were supposed to fool the town. Not themselves.
Wedding planner Penny Crawford moved to Cliffhaven for a fresh start, not a fake boyfriend.
But after one small misunderstanding turns firefighter Derek Wilson into her very convincing plus-one, Penny discovers that pretending to date might be good for business. Brides love Derek's safety consultations. Referrals start rolling in. Everyone wins.
There's just one problem.
The entire town believes the relationship is real.
Now the local florist is offering romantic advice, the restaurant owner is emotionally invested in their future, and every fake date feels a little less fake than the one before.
Derek is steady, dependable, and entirely too easy to fall for. Penny knows she should tell him the truth before things get more complicated.
Unfortunately, complicated arrived three practice dates ago.
When a misunderstanding threatens everything they've built together, Penny must decide whether protecting her carefully organized plans is worth losing the one thing she never planned on finding.
