A three-month marriage of convenience to save my business? What could go wrong?
To keep my struggling chocolate shop, I have to pretend I'm engaged to the sexy single dad and tattooed bartender I work with.
So what if Gage is protective, bossy and looks at me like he wants me? I can resist him.
Except, there's that little matter of fake kisses to sell our romance to the town. Swoony gestures. Possessive words like mine.
But since it's a bad idea to bang your business partner, I don't give in. Well, there was that one time in the supply closet, but I swear it won't happen again.
Good news is our shop becomes the toast of the town, with lines out the door and us as the it couple running it.
But bad news comes when my vindictive corporate rival threatens to expose us as frauds.
And my fake fiancé makes the biggest gesture of all to protect me – he marries me for real to prove this isn't fake.
A marriage of convenience with an expiration date at the end of the year…as long as I don't fall for my husband.
Tropes: Single dad, fake engagement, marriage of convenience, my wife, found family, workplace romance, spicy rom com, he falls first
