A Short Story

Fake dating was supposed to be simple… until real feelings got in the way.

Alexa Carter has two priorities: running her candle shop and avoiding romantic disasters, especially after her ex left her heart in pieces. So, when charming and infuriatingly handsome Caleb Sinclair proposes a fake relationship to keep their meddling families at bay, she figures, why not? It’s just a little harmless acting.
But Caleb isn’t just a good actor, he’s dangerously good at making Alexa feel things she swore she was done feeling. From over-the-top public displays of affection to a stolen moment that felt a little too real, she’s starting to wonder if she’s still playing pretend.

Caleb never imagined faking a romance could be this much fun. Alexa gets his humor, challenges him in all the right ways, and somehow, their fake dates have become the best part of his week. Caleb soon realizes he doesn’t just want to keep up the act—he wants the real thing. But a misunderstanding may threaten to unravel everything.

Can they turn pretend into something permanent, or will their charade fizzle out before it ever truly ignites?
