Pretend You're Mine

She needed a fake boyfriend for one impossible wedding weekend.
She didn't expect him to become the one man who felt real.

Nora Bennett has spent years building a life as Driftwood Harbor's go-to florist, bright, capable, and determined to make every wedding at Lantern House look effortless.

Even her ex-boyfriend's.

When Miles Redding arrives for his picture-perfect wedding weekend, Nora is ready to smile, arrange the flowers, and prove she is absolutely, completely, professionally over him. But one awkward moment, one sharp-eyed gossip, and one very steady firefighter turn her careful plan into a town-wide rumor.

Apparently, Nora Bennett is dating Caleb Mercer.

Caleb is calm, serious, and far too practical to get tangled in small-town drama. But after a viral rescue video leaves everyone questioning whether he is a hero or a liability, pretending to be Nora's boyfriend might help them both survive the weekend.

The problem? Fake dating Caleb is easier than it should be.

Hand-holding starts to feel natural. Quiet conversations become dangerous. And the man Nora thought was too guarded to let anyone close may be the one person who sees her clearly.

But when the wedding ends and the gossip fades, Nora and Caleb will have to decide what was only pretend, and what was never fake at all.

Pretend You're Mine is a warm, steamy small-town contemporary romance featuring fake dating, grumpy/sunshine chemistry, a protective firefighter hero, wedding weekend chaos, seaside charm, found family, and a complete happily ever after.
