A fake engagement, second chances, and newfound family members come together in this new romance from the New York Times bestselling author of the âswoon-worthyâ (Business Insider) The Spanish Love Deception.
Josie Moore has given the opposite sexâand loveâplenty of chances. Four exactly, if you count all her failed engagements, and five if you include the absentee father who kept her existence a secret until very recently. So when her father decides to announce his retirement with a splashy magazine piece about the family, Josie realizes her romantic history is a complicated PR issue.
Matthew Flanagan is in the mud, literally. Not only has he been fired from his job, but also the tires of his car are stuck in the muck after taking a wrong turn as he enters Green Oak, North Carolina. So, he grabs a duffel with his essentials and goes in search of a place to crash until he gets his life back on track. But instead, he finds his best friendâs sister, Josie, greeting him as her fiancĂ©.
What starts as a big messy misunderstanding quickly turns into an arrangement with Matthew playing a new role as doting fiancĂ©. A fifth engagementâand a stunt, at thatâmakes Josieâs stomach turn, but every dilemma requires a choice between equally undesirable alternatives, and Matthew doesnât seem to mind becoming one more number in a colorful list of grooms-that-never-were. Despite the ring on her finger, Josie knows this is only temporary, even if the rest of the small town believes that the fifth timeâs the charm.
