Picking up my stranded ex from the side of the road is only the beginning of my problems. Somehow, I’ve agreed to be his fake girlfriend for the weekend.
Jenny: I’m on a routine tow truck call through the auto shop I own when my day frays worse than my hair: stranded in the ditch is none other than my ex, Chase, who shattered my heart.
I admit, I don’t mind seeing the man lose his cool. It took me years to gain my Lady Boss confidence, even if my tow truck is bright orange and second hand from a retired clown.

Picking up my stranded ex from the side of the road is only the beginning of my problems. Somehow, I’ve agreed to be his fake girlfriend for the weekend.
Jenny: I’m on a routine tow truck call through the auto shop I own when my day frays worse than my hair: stranded in the ditch is none other than my ex, Chase, who shattered my heart.
I admit, I don’t mind seeing the man lose his cool. It took me years to gain my Lady Boss confidence, even if my tow truck is bright orange and second hand from a retired clown.
I can’t abandon Chase, though that’s exactly what he did to me over fifteen years ago. The upside? I’ll charge him top dollar for the tow and repairs on his swanky European sedan. The downside?
As I’m driving him to his work conference, he does the worst thing ever. He apologizes. Only my heart is too hardened to ever let Chase back in.
Chase: I’ll take Jenny any day over my ex-wife, whose heated phone conversation attempting to cast off our kids on her designated weekend sent me off-roading in my Audi.
She has no idea my job is at risk and that this work retreat is my chance to save it.
What’s meant to be a simple drop-off turns nearly deadly after a tornado forces Jenny to shelter with me at the retreat center. Now my bosses believe I brought a significant other to the work event.
Shockingly, Jenny plays along, but I suspect she’s drawn to the yoga retreat next door over pretending to date the man who dashed her belief in love.
I want her to stay, but I can’t let my boss know the secret of our past or my reputation—and my job—are toast.
Meanwhile, my heart is battling with what I’ve known for years. Leaving Jenny was a mistake.
