Description
When Dani returns to her Minnesota hometown, she's thrilled at the prospect of reconnecting with Alec, her childhood sweetheart—only to discover that her nerdy best friend has transformed into a confident hockey star. Caught between nostalgia and the reality of who Alec has become, Dani finds herself drawn into an unexpected fake-dating arrangement that forces them both to confront their true feelings. As the line between pretense and reality blurs, Dani must navigate the complications of rekindled attraction, personal growth, and the question of whether first love can survive the passage of time. Lynn Painter delivers a charming contemporary romance that explores how people change, how we remember those we've loved, and whether sometimes the best relationships are the ones we have to fake our way into first.
