Make Me Real (June Springs)

By Abby Gilmore

A steamy small-town friends-to-lovers fake dating romance featuring a pining firefighter best friend, one-bed cabin chaos, and the slow burn from fake to forever.

She needed a fake boyfriend. He'd been waiting years to be her real one.

Ava Romero has been the town's favorite florist, eternal optimist, and professional third wheel for far too long. So when her ex waltzes into Bloom & Grow with his new fiancee and asks her to do their wedding flowers, panic mode activates.

Enter Jackson West, June Springs' golden retriever firefighter and Ava's best friend since middle school. When she blurts out that she's dating him to save face, Jackson agrees to the charade faster than she can say "fake boyfriend."

One borrowed cabin. One bed. One very convincing fake relationship that starts feeling dangerously real. Jackson has loved Ava since forever, and now he has to pretend their chemistry is all an act while she slowly realizes the man she's been looking for has been beside her all along.

Make Me Real is a steamy small-town romance in the June Springs series. First person, dual POV, with a friends-to-lovers fake dating love story that proves sometimes the real thing was right in front of you all along.
