They say when one door closes another one opens, right? When the door closed on my marriage, I was fortunate to follow a new dream. One that led me to opening my own bakery in downtown Pine Village. It hasn’t been easy, especially in the offseason, but I make it work. I’m content. Happy.
Then Kameron Markley showed up on my doorstep, begging me to be his fake girlfriend.
It seems like such a simple plan, especially when we’re both getting something out of it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long before lines are blurred and crossed, and suddenly, the relationship doesn’t feel so fake after all.
Kameron
For the last decade, I’ve poured my heart and soul into my restaurant, turning a small-town space into a top steak house. The building beside mine has been sitting for as long as I can remember, and the owner is finally ready to sell. The only problem is, she thinks it needs to go to a family man. Suddenly, I’m desperate.
That’s when I come up with the wild idea to find a fake girlfriend.
Jillian Kirby fits the bill to a T, and with a little negotiation, we’re able to work out a deal where we both come out ahead. What I wasn’t expecting was it being so easy to be around her. Suddenly, the lie we’re telling does feel like it’s so right. I want it to be real.
Another wonderful visit to Pine Village to see the crew. This is Jillian and Kameron's friends to lovers, fake dating story and it sizzles with chemistry and hope for something they didn't think they would ever have.
In a desperate need to purchase the building next to his to expand his business, Kameron approaches Jillian with a need. A huge ask from her but she understands the want to do the best for your business and spending time with Kam isn't a hardship.
The more time spent together the more it is enjoyed. Kam is pretty swoon worthy and soon it isn't really feeling like fake anymore. But is the other feeling the same way? How will they handle the surprise of a lifetime.
