The Fake Boyfriend Next Door

By Molly Pine

A fake boyfriend. A meddling grandma. A lie that's getting way too real.

When nurse Tara Jensen blurts out that she has a boyfriend, it's only to keep her recovering grandmother from worrying. She never expects her irritatingly gorgeous neighbor-grumpy gamer Jack Weldon-to volunteer for the role.

Jack figures pretending to be Tara's boyfriend is harmless. A few family dinners, a little hand-holding, maybe even some apple pie-how hard can it be? But one pot roast later, Grandma is smitten, Tara's siblings are suspicious, and Jack finds himself wanting more than just leftovers.

Now Tara and Jack are stuck playing the part of the perfect couple. The only problem? Their "pretend" chemistry feels dangerously real. And in a family this nosy, keeping their hearts out of the charade might be impossible.

A heartfelt, grumpy-sunshine, opposites-attract romcom perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez and Sophie Sullivan.
