What happens when fake dating turns real?

Confirmed bachelor Zander Bellamie has too much on his plate. He’s got a busy veterinary practice to worry about, a mother, three brothers, and a niece who always needs his help. The last thing he needs to add to his life is a girlfriend. Unfortunately, his mother and her friends keep thrusting potential dates in his path. To make matters worse, his brother has hired a new chef. She's bright, pretty, and smart. They click instantly and he can’t stop thinking about her.

Heather Olsen is through with men. She just wants to rebuild her life without worrying about another man stealing everything she owns. She's a tough strong woman set on rebuilding her life. She’s not about to risk a new job, in a new town, by dating her boss’s brother, even if he might be exactly the man her heart is looking for. He’s handsome, intelligent, and kind.

Zander is a take-charge kind of guy and when he suggests fake dating to get local matchmakers off his tail, Heather is reluctant, but agrees. She’s not interested in long term, but fake dating Zander could be her rebound relationship … the one she uses to test her ability to trust again. When things start to feel real, she doesn’t know whether to cut and run, or beg for more. Can they get beyond the reasons they shouldn’t be together and forge a love that was meant to be?
