The Almost Romantic: A Fake Engagement/Marriage of Convenience Romance (How to Date Book 3)

To save her struggling chocolate shop, she agrees to a three-month fake engagement with Gage—the sexy, tattooed single dad and protective bartender she works with. It’s supposed to be all business, but between fake kisses, swoony gestures, and his possessive “mine,” resisting him becomes harder than expected.

Their plan works—the shop thrives, and the town adores their “it couple” image. But when a spiteful corporate rival threatens to expose their lie, Gage takes drastic action and marries her for real to protect them both.

Now trapped in a marriage of convenience set to expire at year’s end, she must face the one rule she swore she wouldn’t break—don’t fall for her husband.

Tropes: single dad, fake engagement, marriage of convenience, “my wife,” found family, workplace romance, spicy rom-com, he falls first.
