One fake-dating arrangement to rewrite the past—but what if it rewrites their future instead? MADDIE: My veterinary practice is thriving, and I’ve made peace with the fact that my most meaningful relationships are furry. My life is exactly how I designed it: quiet, focused, safely mine. But now I’m being honored at my college alumni weekend, where the same sorority women who once told me I wasn’t quite the right “type” will be there with their perfect eyebrows and more perfect husbands. When Will Harrington—recently back in town after years away—offers to be my fake boyfriend for the weekend, it feels like the perfect trade. He needs veterinary help for his rescue project. I need to show up with someone on my arm, even if it’s all pretend. Simple plan between old friends. So why does it feel so natural when he touches me? And why am I starting to wish this was real? WILL: Maddie Macallister is brilliant, blunt, and the girl I’ve loved since we saved an injured mutt behind the school gym. She has no idea the “small rescue network” she’s helping involves hundreds of volunteers across six states, or that I’ve spent the last decade building and selling tech companies. She also doesn’t know why I really came back to Riverside Falls. Now I get to pretend she’s mine for a whole weekend. The problem? Somewhere between road trip relay points and 3 AM diner conversations, I’m forgetting it’s fake. And telling her the truth might mean losing the one person who’s ever truly seen me. A small-town billionaire romance with fake dating, childhood friends reconnecting, and a hero who’d rather build dog wheelchairs than empires. less
