Women's Fiction Contemporary | Women's Fiction Friendship

In this charming small-town romance, a flower shop owner starts a fake relationship with her grumpy new neighbor to get rid of her "good girl" reputation—perfect for readers of Rachel Hanna and Jenny Hale!

Rose Anderson is tired of being the "nice" sister, especially now that her siblings have all found love and are determined to pair Rose off as well. But Rose is too busy with her flower-arranging business to waste time on romance, especially after her last relationship left her heartbroken and cynical about love. Rose is running out of ways to tell her well-meaning family to back off . . . until sexy, yet aloof Cole McKittrick moves to their small town.

Cole doesn't plan to stay in Hillsboro for longer than he needs to. Just dumped and jobless, he only needs to get back on his feet before waving goodbye to his childhood home for good. So when Rose proposes they fake a relationship to keep everyone out of their business, his first instinct is to say no . . . until Rose makes him an offer he can't refuse. 

Soon, the two are performing their best starry-eyed romance—when not succumbing to the undeniable chemistry between them. But when Rose discovers Cole has been keeping a big secret about his past, will it mean the end of their not-so-fake relationship? Or can she forgive him and fight for the very real feelings that have grown between them?
