Faking Forever: A Closed Door Fake Dating Romance (Wedding Season in Ivy Hollow)

PR consultant Sloane Barrett is in Ivy Hollow for one weekend. That's it. Just long enough to handle a client crisis, avoid her mother's calls about "settling down," and get out before anyone tries to make her join a book club. But when a nosy shopkeeper spots the antique ring Sloane borrowed from her grandmother's jewelry box (she's wearing it on the wrong hand, but details) and congratulates her on her engagement, Sloane panics.

And says yes.

Enter Finn Gallagher, Ivy Hollow firefighter, local golden retriever in human form, and the man standing next to Sloane when the congratulations start rolling in. Before he can correct the misunderstanding, Sloane grabs his arm, calls him "babe," and whispers, "Just go with it and I'll owe you one."

One weekend turns into one week turns into one very elaborate lie involving engagement photos, a couples' cooking class at the winery, and a whole town planning a party neither of them asked for. Finn knows this is a terrible idea. Sloane knows this is a terrible idea. The problem is, pretending to be in love with each other is starting to feel less like pretending and more like a confession.

In Ivy Hollow, gossip travels faster than Wi-Fi. And the truth is coming.

A sweet, closed-door rom-com featuring a city girl who talks fast and panics faster, a small-town firefighter who's too nice to say no, and a town full of people who really, really want to throw them a party.
