Just Pretend

Hallie Evans has a good life—except for one glaring problem: her maddeningly attractive, arrogant, playboy neighbor, James Cole. He keeps her up at night—literally and figuratively—with his endless parade of late-night conquests and his irritating habit of pushing her buttons. She’d move if she could, but every penny is going toward saving her family’s summer camp.***Her shot at a big promotion at Winter Brothers’ Vineyard feels like the lifeline she needs—until a rumor throws her into a tailspin. Apparently, the bosses might favor a “family-oriented” candidate, and Hallie’s single status suddenly feels like a liability. When a spur-of-the-moment lie spirals out of control, Hallie finds herself fake-dating the last person on earth she’d choose—James Cole.***With a week-long company retreat looming, she has no choice but to bring him along and sell the charade. Seven days. That’s all it is. How hard could it be?***Harder than she ever imagined.***As the retreat unfolds, Hallie begins to see a side of James she never expected—kind, thoughtful, and, dare she admit, charming. But just as sparks begin to fly, a family secret threatens to blow everything apart. Now, with her promotion, her family’s camp, and her heart hanging in the balance, Hallie has to decide what she’s really willing to fight for—and who she’s willing to risk it all for.
