I am not dating my billionaire boss, no matter what the media says.
For the record, I am also not fake dating him.
Despite what the pictures circling online make our relationship look like, he is my big, grumpy, tattooed employer, and I am his perfectly-innocent-of-all-scandal, sunshine housekeeper. I cook. I clean. I try to set him up on play dates with my friends so that he’ll leave me alone. I shop.
That’s it.
That’s the plain and simple truth.
And if you don’t believe me, I bet you also think this book is a Valentine story.
Well, here’s some real news for you: appearances aren’t always reliable…and sometimes that means the grumpy boss is sweeter than he seems.
I’m fake dating my best friend’s grumpy brother AND he’s my all-star player.
At first, Dane Hammer could barely tolerate me as his new boss.
Accidentally drenching his lap with scalding coffee before the press conference, didn’t help.
When my backstage clean-up sounded salacious through open mics,
I told the press we’re dating—you know, to help it make sense.
That only made it worse, because now we’re stuck in a fake romance.
This is impossible—he’s off-limits and can’t stand me now.
We force smiles through lying eyes to protect reputations and legacies.
But we look real in photos.
That explains why holding hands at town events feels natural.
And why I warmed a little, when he played nice on team bowling night.
Then Cupid’s arrow struck me while we’re skating on ice in public and he held me close.
I’m cracking under the pressure.
And if the whole truth comes out,
I’ll lose the Outlaws, Dane, and my best friend forever.
Ryan Callahan made a promise to his dying wife: give their daughter Hazel one perfect small-town Christmas in Hope Springs, Montana—the place where his wife grew up. But returning to the ranch that holds so many memories is harder than he imagined, and staying strong for his seven-year-old daughter while his own heart is breaking feels impossible.
Becca Sterling knows grief intimately. Widowed two years ago, she’s convinced herself that she had her one great love and shouldn’t expect more. Running the ranch store and volunteering at church keeps her busy enough to avoid facing her own loneliness—until a heartbroken single dad and his precious daughter walk into her life.
As Hazel falls in love with the ranch and Ryan rediscovers what hope feels like, Becca must decide if opening her heart again is betraying her late husband’s memory—or honoring it. And Ryan must choose between the safe life he’s built in Denver and the unexpected family he’s found in Montana.
Sometimes God’s answers to prayer look different than we expect. Sometimes they look like second chances, healing hearts, and a little girl who believes in miracles.
A tender story of loss, faith, and learning to love again.
Swept into a dazzling charade by my former crush, his fake proposal blossoms into a floral fantasy.
A pretend Valentine’s Day wedding is his clever business strategy.
High school chemistry brought us together, but I was too shy, and he was leagues above me.
Alex is now a billionaire CEO, desperate to shield his legacy from a conniving cousin’s thorns.
He pledges to rescue my flower business from bankruptcy if I play his blushing bride.
But the delicate petals of our fake love conceal a garden where hope and deception intertwine.
As we stage lavish displays of affection, I melt under the warmth of his charm.
My foolish heart envisions a fairytale engagement that could lead to happily ever after.
But my logical mind knows that underneath the veil lies a deal as delicate as a carefully arranged bouquet.
When our wedding day arrives, a symphony of hopes and fears blooms within me.
I hope my dream man doesn’t discard me after we say I do.
When her life plans are uprooted, can a soldier’s love help her heart bloom again?
Camillia Rodes never imagined she’d lose her flower shop just weeks before Valentine’s Day.
Desperate to rebuild her business, she finds a new location in the quaint town of Hickory Falls.
But as she works to revive her dream, she encounters Allen Calhoun—
a rugged, ex-military contractor who’s not just interested in renovating her shop, but in healing her heart.
With a past that has made her dread Valentine’s Day, Cammie is determined to focus on work.
But Allen has other ideas. Through thoughtful gestures and hidden messages,
he shows her that love can be found in the smallest details— even in a holiday she’s come to despise.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, Cammie must decide: will she let Allen’s kindness thaw her guarded heart, or will she miss her chance at a love that’s been secretly growing below the surface?
