Description

A hardworking single mom returns to her seaside hometown of Whitfield, Rhode Island to help her dad and brother save the family home—and finds herself pulled into a high-society mess when she meets Stewart Whitfield, a wealthy, workaholic scion with a very public breakup and a flat tire that needs fixing. What begins as a carefully managed, fake-dating arrangement quickly turns into something messier, warmer, and far more personal as dinners, benefits, and stolen moments at sunset start to feel like more than an act. With Annabel Monaghan’s signature blend of sharp humour, tender character work, and feel-good escapism, this rom-com explores trust, self-reliance, and the courage it takes to let someone in. As Dolly learns to rely on more than herself, the question becomes whether pretending can ever lead to something real.
