The Architect Who Pretended: A Fake-Engagement Small-Town Romance

By DELIA MARSH

The engagement was for show. The feelings didn't get the memo.

Theo Endicott needs a fianc e - just for the season, just for appearances, just long enough to win the contract to restore Cape Wren's crumbling 1911 library. Nora needs the work, the steadiness, and a way to keep a roof over her son's head. A fake engagement solves both their problems. On paper.

But Theo measures things when he's nervous, talks to empty rooms, and apologizes with architectural precision. And Nora, who learned long ago to expect nothing she didn't build herself, isn't supposed to start counting on him - or on the way her son lights up whenever he's near.

Some lies turn into the truest thing you've got.

Book Three of The Endicotts of Cape Wren. A slow-burn, closed-door small-town romance.
