I came back to Briar Glen to stop being the joke, not to fake an engagement to my grumpy billionaire ex-boss.

One last favor, he said: wear his ring at a make-or-break conference, smile through the couples' events, and help him prove he's the kind of man investors can trust.

No feelings, no complications, and definitely no falling for him... again.

But the one-bed hotel mix-up turns late-night strategy sessions into whispered confessions.

The way he watches the room for my discomfort, steps closer when my ex appears, and chooses a forehead kiss instead of pushing my boundaries feels nothing like pretending.

In Briar Glen, the town jeweler calls me "Ava Scott," my mom starts planning a wedding, and every time Robert laces his fingers through mine, my heart believes him.

If this lie unravels, I lose my job and my fresh start.

Do you like fake dating, grumpy sunshine, second-chance, one-bed trope, small-town clean romance? This is a sweet, kisses-only workplace romance featuring competent characters, laugh-out-loud banter, slow-burn chemistry, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
