When florist Joelle Delvaux overhears firefighter Evrard Boyd cursing about his date canceling, she volunteers to be his fake girlfriend at his brother’s wedding. The catch? It starts in three hours, and his ninety-year-old grandmother expects someone special.
Evrard swore off love twenty years ago after his divorce destroyed him. He just needs one woman willing to play pretend for a day. Easy. Except his grandmother keeps adding events to their schedule, and every dinner, every dance, every moment with Joelle makes the lie harder to keep up.
Joelle loves weddings and helping people, but she’s been searching for true love her whole life. Playing the role of a pretend girlfriend to make an elderly woman happy should be simple. Then she overhears Evrard tell his fire captain she’s the woman he’s falling for, and suddenly nothing about this arrangement feels fake anymore.
Between his grandmother’s meddling and a house fire that makes Evrard realize how much he has to lose, the lines between pretending and falling in love disappear completely.
A steamy fake-dating romance where a grumpy firefighter discovers the woman helping him lie to his grandmother is the one person he can’t lie to himself about.
