Fake It Harder: A Steamy Small Town Romance (Hartley Cove)

By Ivy Sexton

Camille Anand has a planner, a caf , and a strict policy on charming men: never again. Beckett Bellweather has a family trust demanding he look settled, a grin that should require a permit, and exactly one fake-girlfriend candidate the whole town would believe - the woman who rolls her eyes at him in two languages.

The deal: ninety days of fake dating, one festival, four rules, zero feelings. She writes the rules herself. She underlines rule three - no actual anything - twice. He signs with a flourish and asks if there's a rewards program.

Then the town buys it. The string lights go up. Boston happens - one hotel room, one bed, one very quiet morning after where neither of them mentions that nobody was pretending. And the performance stops being the problem, because what's under it never learned its lines.

They were only supposed to make it look real. They are dramatically overdelivering.

Fake it harder.

A steamy fake-dating, only-one-bed standalone in the Hartley Cove series. Guaranteed happily-ever-after. Rule three never stood a chance.
