He needed a fake boyfriend for three weeks. I've been in love with him for thirteen years.

Garrett Schafer has spent the last decade building a life in Juniper Bluff—running his beloved coffee shop, building family with his friends, and definitely not pining over Hayden Bartlett, the guy who never noticed him in high school before leaving for bigger things.

So when Hayden walks back into The Perch desperate to avoid his mother's holiday matchmaking schemes, Garrett does something completely he offers to be Hayden's fake boyfriend for the Christmas season.

It's supposed to be simple. Attend a few family dinners, survive some small-town gossip, maybe share a practice kiss or two under the mistletoe. Easy.

Except nothing about falling for Hayden Bartlett has ever been easy.

Between awkward family dinners, protective friends who see right through their act, and enough sexual tension to melt a Colorado snowstorm, their fake relationship starts feeling dangerously real. But when Hayden's demanding career pulls him back to Denver just days before Christmas, Garrett has to was their connection genuine or just a really good acting job?
