From the author of the bestselling California Dreamin' sweet romantic comedy series comes a new adventure in the small town of Hallmark Beach… All I wanted to do was throw my brother a surprise early wedding. As the prince of a small country, his wedding day has been eclipsed by pomp and circumstance—and he and his fiancée deserve more. So when I find myself in a charming small town on the coast of California, I decide to plan them the perfect royal wedding without all the cameras and expectations. But as a princess, I can't be here alone. So my brother sends along the country's top bodyguard—his best mate, Frederick. Who ALSO happens to be the man I'm completely mad about. Not that either of them know that. Then, assumptions are made ... That's right. The townspeople who are helping me plan the wedding assume that I'm the bride—and that Frederick's the groom. But it makes the perfect cover story. They'll never suspect it's actually Prince Topher's nuptials I'm planning. We can keep this royal wedding under wraps from the press. A fake engagement is the perfect plan. But I didn't quite think through how it would be to pretend with him. To hug him. To share a room with him. To kiss him.

No matter how brilliantly we might fit together.

In the charming town of Hallmark Beach, love’s a food fight when old flames ignite and rivalries simmer. Things were sailing smoothly in my little slice of paradise until Blake “the Flake” Moffitt waltzed back into town, looking far too handsome for his own good—and mine. Once upon a time, I was hopelessly in love with my best friend's brother, but that fairytale is history. Now, he’s just the guy who broke my heart and vanished without a trace. This time, I’m determined to shield both of us from any expectations. Thankfully, he’s only around for the summer, so maybe I can manage to stomach his presence—oh, did I mention he's our temporary housemate? But now I’ve got a much bigger problem on my plate… He’s parked his food truck right next to the struggling restaurant where I’m the acting manager—the only full-service spot in town! Under my watch, it's already plunging into the red, and now he’s making my life even more chaotic. Guess what, buddy? Game on! With the Fourth of July festival planning committee bringing us together—and him constantly throwing me off my game with his unexpectedly sweet gestures—I’m conflicted. Is this the same guy who broke my heart, or is he the charming cook I used to adore?
