What happens when a fake boyfriend becomes the realest thing in your life?
Emma Wells has it all figured out-except she doesn't. At thirty-two, she's just been passed over for a promotion she deserved, her ex won't stop haunting her thoughts, and her family's relentless questions about her love life are about to ruin another Thanksgiving.
Enter Dr. Michael Chang: her best friend of thirteen years, pediatric resident, and the one person who's always had her back. When Emma desperately needs a boyfriend to bring home for the holidays, Mikey offers a solution that seems perfect-they'll fake date for four days, fool her family, and go back to normal.
Except nothing about holding Mikey's hand feels fake. Nothing about the way he looks at her is pretend. And when he confesses he's been in love with her for seven years, Emma realizes the performance they've been giving is the most honest thing she's ever done.
From cozy family dinners to stolen kisses under Christmas lights, from career triumphs to heart-stopping confessions, this is the story of two best friends who took the scenic route to forever.
Perfect for fans of emotional romance, friends-to-lovers stories, and holiday magic that proves sometimes the best gifts come wrapped in truth, not lies.
Fall in love with Emma and Mikey's journey from fake dating to real forever in this heartwarming romance that will make you believe in second chances, brave hearts, and love that was there all along.
