What’s worse than attending my sister’s wedding without a date? Attending it with my ex-fiancé, Liam, as the Groom’s best man… and the guy who dumped me two weeks before our own nuptials.
This weekend was supposed to be simple… witnessing my sister marry the love of her life in a fairytale Christmas Eve wedding in my home town of San Diego, spend Christmas morning at my parents’ house, and then fly back home to Seattle to ring in the New Year while wondering where my life went wrong.
But with the stress of my ex-fiancé bringing the woman he left me for almost a year ago, I’ll have to plaster on a fake smile, a pretend that avoid my ex-fiancé.
Easy enough, right?
But when all hell breaks loose on the flight back to San Diego and I’m seated next to Brent Tomlin, the Hawkeyes hockey golden boy, a groomsman in my sister’s wedding, and the man who stood me up prom night ten years ago, I have to wonder if the universe has it out for me.
Brent offers me a deal: he’ll pretend to be my fake boyfriend for the weekend to make my ex-fiancé want me back, if I agree to go to his grandmother’s birthday party over the weekend.
Now I’m stuck fake dating Brent, who has no problem playing the role of my doting boyfriend. Worse? He’s making it all too convincing.
The goal was to make my ex jealous and want me back, but somehow, I’m the one struggling to keep my feelings in check.
Falling for Brent is definitely not part of the plan.
This was supposed to be fake so why does it feel so real?
