The Book Boyfriend: A Fake-Dating Small-Town Romantic Comedy (Cider Falls Steamy Rom Com Series 3)

About

Rule one of hiring a fake boyfriend: do not pick the man who writes book boyfriends for a living. Reader, I picked him anyway.

I needed six weeks. Six weeks of a convincing relationship—long enough to get through the Spring Harvest Kickoff and get my mother to stop seating single orthodontists next to me at dinner. What I did not need was Declan Ross: the grumpy hermit renting the cottage over my bakery, who has let this entire town believe my building is haunted rather than say good morning, and who—I have recently discovered—is the bestselling author of every swoony, filthy romance currently hidden under my bed.

The man invents perfect men for a living. He just refuses to be one.

Six weeks. Clear rules. No feelings. Then he started showing up early, remembering how I take my coffee, and writing me into his next book.

I do not have time to fall for a man I made up. Somebody please inform my heart that we signed a contract.
