When Forever Falls Apart

By Kat T. Masen

A runaway bride returns to her small town, where she befriends her best friend's older brother in a fake-dating plot to make her ex jealous--from the bestselling author of How to Break My Heart.

Maddy Beaumont has been dubbed the runaway bride of Cinnamon Springs after leaving her ex, Myles, jilted at the aisle and escaping to Europe. But she can't escape the town people's judgment for long--months later, she's forced to return home and face reality, and Maddy is surprised by feelings of regret when she learns Myles has a new girlfriend so soon.

Did she make a mistake by calling off the wedding? There's only one way to find out. When Maddy is invited to an event with Myles in attendance, she strikes a deal with pastry chef Elliot, her best friend's charming older brother. For one night, Elliot and Maddy are going to pretend they're dating. Easy, right? Just hold each other's hand and pretend to look in love.

But the more time Maddy spends with Elliot, the more she realises what they share might not be so fake after all.
