Faking It With The Damaged Grump

A Small Town Enemies To Lovers Romance

My bad boy ex from next door returned to our small town.
Now we’re fake engaged and stuck together, uncovering buried secrets.

After 18 years, the sudden death of our friend Jacob brings my brooding ex,
Billionaire Nate Hayes back to our small hometown.

Nate had vanished, breaking my heart, but Jacob’s final wishes drew him back.
Now, the irresistible, emerald-eyed jerk is my neighbor once more.

Jacob willed us his home, but it comes with dangerous secrets.
And the more secrets we unravel, the more danger we attract.

When pent-up tension erupts, clothes get shed in a raw, heated moment.
And Nate’s fierce protectiveness makes me melt under his touch.

To secure our inheritance, we fake an engagement to throw off our enemies.
But sharing a home makes it hard to pretend when feelings are still so real.

As danger closes in, I uncover a life-altering secret myself—two little pink lines.
And his response could be our redemption or my deepest heartbreak yet.
