Rhys Bridger has one rule for his family's chocolate shop: absolutely no dating.

But when his grandmother's relentless matchmaking becomes unbearable, the grumpy chocolatier panics and claims he's already taken -- by Molly, the bubbly seasonal hire who knows nothing about making chocolate.

Molly agrees to the charade, mostly to watch the stoic Rhys squirm. But the plan melts down when a staff shortage forces her into the kitchen. Suddenly, amidst sugar candy disasters and "fake" kisses that feel terrifyingly real, Rhys must decide if he's brave enough to break his own rules for a love he never saw coming.

Tropes: Grumpy x Sunshine, Fake Dating, Workplace Romance, Forced Proximity
Heat Level: Sweet & Swoony (Passionate kisses, no graphic scenes)
Content Note: One scene contains mild swearing
