Fake dating my best friend? What could possibly go wrong? Nate Callahan is the guy who shows up at my café every morning—sandy blond hair a mess, still smelling like smoke from the firehouse, ordering his usual black coffee with that annoyingly perfect grin. He’s also my best friend. But when the town ropes us into a fake dating scheme for the Sweetheart Festival, everything shifts. Suddenly, his teasing feels different. His smile lingers longer. The lines blur faster than I thought—every fake smile feels a little too real, every lingering glance sticks longer than it should. I told myself I wouldn’t fall for him. But my heart didn’t get the memo. Hook, Line, and Latte delivers heart-fluttering moments, cozy café vibes, and a love story you’ll want to savor.
