A Harvey Girls, Fake-Dating Historical Romance
He's the man of her dreams-she just doesn't know it yet.
New York socialite Jane Cady is the envy of the season, and the supposed love of Graham Bank's life, until news arrives that her father's last merchant ship has sunk, costing them everything. To avoid scandal, the family disappears to manage a hotel in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Determined to support her family, Jane sets aside her dream of marriage and joins her father in working for the Harvey House, as a waitress. But when her former fiancé strolls into the Castañeda Hotel, the weight of her sacrifice becomes all too real.
Rancher Wade Sterling is well acquainted with hard work and that Miss Jane is one of the hardest working Harvey Girls he's ever met, besides his sister-in-law. When Jane faints on duty, Wade catches her and upon her awakening in his arms, her passionate kiss nearly knocks him off his feet. She begs him to play along and before he knows it, she tells some dandy that they are happily courting. Jane later begs Wade's forgiveness, explaining it was an emergency as the man was her former fiancé and their relationship ended poorly. But, when the dandy stays in town, Wade finds himself in a fake courtship and in love with the woman of his dreams. He only needs to convince Jane that he is the man of hers.
Tropes: Fake-Dating, He Falls First, Second Chance Romance, Fish out of water, Found Family, Force Proximity, Protective Hero, Tortured Soul, & Redemption! Sweet romance with all the sigh-worthy swoon and NO spice!
