A Small Town Fake Dating Romance

I agreed to save his festival—not to fall for him all over again.

Ethan Prescott was supposed to be gone for good. The boy who left without a goodbye is now standing in the middle of my carefully rebuilt life, about to upend everything. I swore I'd never forgive him.

But a bad press storm hits, and we agree to a fake relationship to hold the town's trust together.

Now I'm working late nights with him, brushing shoulders over floor plans, sharing inside jokes we shouldn't still have.

He makes me laugh when I'm trying to hate him. Remembers my coffee order. Protects me in ways that make my chest ache.

Somewhere between porch swings, barn dances, and dangerously real kisses, I start to forget why I ever stopped believing in him.

But the deal that could save his ranch and our town has a deadline—and the secret behind his silence could burn everything down.

He says this time he's not letting me go.

I'm afraid he already did.
