They wrote the rules for a perfect fake relationship. But love doesn’t follow a script.

When my family's "concern" about my single status reaches peak awkwardness, I make a desperate deal with Nolan Hayes—Maple Hills' most charming, infuriatingly handsome bachelor. We'll fake-date for two months to get our families off our backs. Simple. Clean. No messy feelings.

Our Ten Rules were foolproof:

1. No real kissing (cheeks only!)

2. Absolutely no family holidays

3. Two dates per week, max

4. Strictly no pet names

5. Walk away clean when it's over

I thought I had everything under control. Until "folding lessons" in my bakery turned into whispered confessions. Until a snowstorm trapped us together, and his arms felt more like home than any rule. Until I realized the way he looked at me during our fake dates... wasn't fake at all.

Now I'm breaking every rule we wrote:

• Rule #3: We're spending every spare moment together

• Rule #1: That "performance" kiss felt dangerously real

• Rule #5: Walking away? Impossible when he's become my favorite person

This small-town fake dating arrangement was supposed to be temporary. But my heart didn't get the memo. And when our expiration date looms, I have to choose: follow the rules we created, or risk everything for a love that was never part of the plan.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Fake dating romance that turns deliciously real

• Small town romance with cozy bakeries and autumn vibes

• Grumpy sunshine romance where he's actually a golden retriever in disguise

• Forced proximity and "only one bed" tension

• Closed door romance with all the chemistry, none of the explicit scenes
