Pretending with My Grumpy Co-Worker
Gianna Ward
Romance? Off the table. Until my grumpy coworker becomes my fake boyfriend.
I’m barely surviving school drop-offs, bills, and raising my six-year-old niece.
What I don’t need? Calder Price—sharp-edged, impossible-to-please, and suddenly chained to me for a high-stakes work project.
Then an unscripted misunderstanding gets documented on camera, and overnight we’re a very fake couple who clash over everything. It’s his cold logic against my heart-first ideas.
Except the more time we spend together, the more I see the considerate single dad, the brilliant mind, the man who cares far deeper than he lets on.
And I can’t stop hoping this isn’t pretend at all.
Because when the project ends, so will the ruse. And what feels like a family could vanish overnight, leaving all of us broken.
Pretending with My Grumpy Co-Worker is a single dad tender love story with meaningful connection, layered emotions, and heartfelt chemistry—without explicit spice.
