Fake It Until It's Real

By Tina Gallagher and Cissy Mecca

She's afraid she's too much. He's convinced he'll never be enough.

Maplemoor was supposed to be Jess Harper's fresh start, a quiet place to rebuild after a future that never happened. Now she has a book club that feels like family, a coffee shop that knows her order, and a life that finally feels steady again.

What she doesn't have is a date to her best friend's wedding-the one where her ex and his brand-new fianc e will be.

Caleb Ward is the guy everyone counts on when it matters most-reliable, steady, the first one through the door. He did everything right last time, and still ended up the man who got left behind. These days, he's not looking for love. He's not looking for anything.

Which is exactly why saying yes to Jess Harper feels safe. It's just a fake date. One wedding, and then back to real life.

Until it isn't.

One weekend together. One very convincing performance. And suddenly the line between pretending and real is a lot thinner than either of them thought.

The hard part is knowing which side of that line they're on.
