Two best friends. One fake engagement. Zero chance they don't fall in love.
Harper Collins has her life together-or at least that's what everyone thinks. She's got the dream finance job, the rent-controlled apartment, and the best friend who always has her back. But when her ex shows up engaged to someone else, Harper blurts out the one thing she shouldn't: that she's already engaged herself. To her best friend.
Ethan Brooks has always been the steady one. The guy who fixes Harper's Wi-Fi, carries her home after too much wine, and pretends not to notice how her laugh ruins him a little more every time. So when Harper asks him to play along with her spur-of-the-moment lie, of course he says yes. What's a fake engagement between friends?
Except the whole world seems to buy it. Their families swoon. Their coworkers gossip. Suddenly they're holding hands under restaurant tables and sharing a bed at a weekend wedding. Every touch feels a little too real, every kiss meant for show lingers far too long-and Ethan's not sure how much longer he can keep pretending.
The problem? Harper's terrified of ruining the one relationship she can't live without. Ethan's done keeping his feelings a secret. And the closer they get to their "wedding day," the harder it is to know where the fake engagement ends... and the real love begins.
