Things We Fake

By Melinda De Ross

He's all crisp shirts and color-coded calendars. She's chaos in heels-and pure temptation.

Susanne Morelli has a teaching job she loves, a gang of amazing (if slightly unhinged) friends, and a lifetime supply of wine thanks to her family's vineyard. The only dark cloud is her mother's relentless campaign to marry her off-and now Mamma Morelli wants Sue back with her cheating ex-fianc .

Cameron Jones likes things neat, quiet, and commitment-free. His software company is his world; dating is just background noise ever since his ex wrecked his trust. His new neighbor, Sue, wreaks havoc on his routines. All sass, messy hair, and bombshell curves, she's everything he never expected to crave this badly.

When circumstances push them into a fake engagement, pretending to be in love seems like the perfect plan. Until it feels they've stopped faking it.

Between a meddling mother, scheming exes, and an imaginary relationship that's getting dangerously real, Sue has two choices: finally grow a backbone... or let everyone else decide her happily ever after.

A funny, sexy, slow-burn romance about finding your voice, following your desires, and discovering that love shouldn't come with conditions.
