Publisher's summary
In the bustling city of Chicago, Malia Parker has just begun to rebuild her life after a painful breakup. Her heart, once shattered by betrayal, is now cautiously mending. Enter Marc Savang, a successful graphic designer with a charming smile and a knack for creativity. When he finds himself in desperate need of a date for his cousin’s wedding on Valentine’s Day, he turns to an unconventional solution: an open call on an AMBW dating forum.
Malia, seeking a distraction and an opportunity for a fresh start, decides to respond to Marc’s call. As their initial connection blossoms into a meaningful exchange, their unexpected encounter becomes a journey of discovery and unexpected romance.
In a story brimming with warmth, chemistry, and the magic of new beginnings, "Pretend To Love Me" is a beautiful reminder that love can find us when we least expect it.
This story was originally featured in the Shades of AMBW Valentine's Anthology. This is the newly enhanced and refreshed edition of “Pretend to Love Me.” Let’s dive into a richer, more captivating version of this heartfelt romance.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Story
Gabriel Ferrara is tall and handsome, and most days she wants to stab her eyes out with a pencil, anything to stop her seeing his perfection. How any female could work in these conditions and not be completely besotted with him is beyond her. Then he opens his mouth and she remembers why. He's bossy and sarcastic, with a wit so sharp it could cut glass. Every weekend is the same . . . while he's off living his dream life, she's counting down the days until Monday when she sees him again.
