A bookstore owner’s make-believe romance becomes personal

Penny Darling would rather spend her time with fictional love interests than risk another public heartbreak. That changes when her former high school best friend, Jake “Monty” Montgomery, returns to Hope Harbor with a request: help him shape a convincing romantic hero, while he pretends to be her boyfriend. Their arrangement brings together fake dating and a writing lesson, with Penny’s bookstore and Monty’s ambitions as an author framing the story. The autumn setting and the shift from practiced romance to real feelings place this friends-to-lovers tale at the intersection of creative collaboration, old ties, and the uncertainty of trusting love again.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Romance readers interested in fake-dating and friends-to-lovers plots.
  • Readers who enjoy stories involving bookstores and an aspiring author.
  • Those seeking a large-print edition of a contemporary romance.

Book overview

"

This large print edition features an easy-to-read larger type size while preserving the complete text of the original edition.

Sparks fly as the leaves fall this autumn...From the superstar romance author of the Boston Bolts hockey series comes a spicy and swoony friends-to-lovers fake-dating delight... This gorgeous first edition trade paperback features colored stenciled edges.




These old flames are ready to catch fire.




For Penny Darling, love is best enjoyed between the pages of a book. After a very public failed engagement, she'd rather cozy up by the fire with a book boyfriend than a real one any day. And as the owner of Bonfire & Bliss Bookstore, she has her pick.




Then Jake "Monty" Montgomery returns home. Her high school best friend, now a struggling author with inked forearms and wicked green eyes. And he needs her help.




His proposal is simple: She'll teach him to write the perfect book boyfriend and he'll pose as her real boyfriend, keeping Hope Harbor's busybodies--and their obsession with Penny's love life--at bay.




But when their lessons begin, the line between fiction and reality grows dangerously thin. As pretend kisses in the apple orchard turn into searing ones beneath the autumn moon, Penny begins to wonder if Monty could really love her, or if she's destined for another broken heart.
