Until a freak fireworks explosion burns Steamy Sips... and my apartment with it. And three motorcycle riders, looking straight out of Hell's Angels, just happen to be there.
So I told the newspaper exactly what I thought.
The article didn't name Jem and the Free Birds as the culprits. It just heavily implied it.
Glades Bay did the rest. Nothing says protest like a small town.
Murphy's Law is a bitch though right? Because I'm desperate for work, and apparently the only thing I'm qualified to do is make coffee. And the only other café in town is newly owned by...
You guessed it.
Enter Jem: pissed off, tattooed, and offering me the job, with one non-negotiable condition.
Fake a scorching romance to repair his image. Convince Glades Bay he's no monster, just a man trying to rebuild in a town that already hates him.
In return, I can get close enough to uncover the truth about him... and maybe push him out for good.
It's supposed to be simple: smile for the town, fix his reputation, end it clean.
I don't plan to kiss him in front of half of Glades Bay.
I definitely don't plan for it to feel real.
But between staged appearances and the quiet way he shows up for his kid, I start to see the man beneath the gruff exterior and bad press. The more we fake it, the more dangerously real it becomes.
And if the ruse falls apart, I won't just lose my job.
I'll lose everything all over again.
More Than Faking It is a spicy small-town romance packed with fake dating, enemies to lovers, found family, single dad, biker hero, and forced proximity. Part of the Glades Bay series-interconnected standalone reads, no cliffhangers, HEA.
