He’s the town Liability. She’s the ultimate Asset. And they just committed the perfect crime: falling in love.
Cole Klein is the fun brother. The reckless one. The "Liability." But when a high-stakes poker game goes wrong and he flees a robbery scene, he finds himself in the crosshairs of the Sheriff and a dangerous corporate fixer. He needs an alibi, fast. And he knows exactly who to ask.
Cassie Thorne deals in two things: caffeine and information. As the owner of The Daily Grind, she knows everyone’s secrets, including the fact that Cole Klein is trouble wrapped in a flannel shirt. When he begs her to be his fake girlfriend to keep him out of jail, she should say no. She would say no, if he didn't offer to fix her leaking roof in exchange.
The deal is simple: He repairs her shop; she repairs his reputation. They just have to hold hands in the grocery store, kiss at the Fall Festival, and convince the whole town they’re madly in love.
Easy, right?
But as they hunt for the real robbers and dodge threats from a shadowy syndicate, the fake touches start feeling dangerously real. Cole is realizing he wants to be more than just a temporary fix, and Cassie is terrified she’s betting her heart on a man who never stays.
A fake relationship, a real mystery, and a love worth breaking the rules for.
