Overview

Fake dating. Real chemistry. One Christmas that changes everything.

Elizabeth Coventry doesn’t do chaos—or feelings. As one of the city’s most powerful CEOs, her life is run like her schedule: clean, efficient, and completely under control. Until her girlfriend dumps her three days before the holidays… and she’s still expected to show up at her family’s Vermont estate with a partner in tow. Enter Riley Hart—Elizabeth’s messy, big-hearted assistant who talks too much, feels too much, and somehow keeps Elizabeth’s world running despite the coffee stains and mild disasters she trails behind.

A desperate proposal. Ten days of pretending. One shared bed that feels a little too real.

Between matching pajamas, meddling relatives, and stolen glances under the mistletoe, Elizabeth and Riley start to blur the line between fake and forever. Because pretending to be in love is easy. Not falling for each other? That’s the hard part.
