One perfect day in Barcelona. One kiss that changed everything. One goodbye that broke my heart. I've always been the overlooked sister, the forgotten friend, the girl in the background of everyone else's love story. But when a handsome stranger rescued my purse—and then my entire day—I dared to believe my story might finally be starting. Then he vanished. No explanation. No phone number. Not even a last name. Classic. Fast forward to six months later, when I discover my mystery man is Brody "Candy" Kane—NHL golden boy, my sister's fiancé's teammate—and he needs a favor. As in, a girlfriend to keep his reputation in good shape while he skates into a new contract. And frankly? I wouldn't mind a date to my sister's over-the-top wedding. The Fake date through wedding season. Break up at the end. No harm, no foul. The Fake smiles for the cameras. Fake hand-holding for the fans. Absolutely, positively, no falling for each other for real. The The chemistry that sparked in Barcelona? Never actually went away. And pretending to be in love with someone you're already halfway in love with? Terrible idea. 0/10. Would not recommend. A swoony Christian romance about second chances, hidden identities, and discovering that the one man you shouldn't want might be exactly who you need. Fans of Emma St. Clair, Jenny Proctor, and Courtney Walsh will love this sweet and clean, fake dating rom-com with all the banter and none of the spice.
