After her divorce, Demi made herself one promise... say yes to everything, no matter how insane.
Now that promise has come to collect and she's saying yes to a reality TV baking competition that only accepts real couples.
There's just one problem: she's not in a relationship anymore.
Enter Nick Rossi. Her hometown's broodiest mechanic, a man who hates the holidays and never watches TV.
All she needs him to do is fake an engagement for two weeks of filming. They'll split the prize money and never speak of it again. For some reason she can't understand, he says yes.
Demi:
My life's a mess post-divorce, so I made myself one rule: say yes to every terrible idea that comes my way.
Which is how I ended up back in my hometown mall working as a Christmas elf, making gift lists for other people's kids because someone offered me the job and my rule left me no way out.
If you're wondering whether this is rock bottom, it is.
Until my yes-year backfires spectacularly and I find myself fake-engaged to Nick Rossi, town grump and reigning most-eligible-bachelor, filming a reality baking show that could hand us a prize big enough to fix my entire life.
All we have to do is convince a panel of judges and some cameras that we're really together.
Except he hates Christmas.
He grumbles about the theme. He scowls at the decorations. But behind the scenes he's soft and warm.
We're supposed to be doing this for the money. Two weeks, fake engaged, real cash prize, no strings.
But no one warned me what happens when you realize you're no longer pretending...
Behind the Scenes is book 5 in the Brookhaven Lake series however it can be read as a true standalone. It's a fake dating, romantic comedy, holiday baking show romance. Guaranteed a HEA!
