The Perfect (Pretend) Proposal
(2026)(The third book in the Sunshine Pier Love Stories series)
A novel by Sierra Lewis
He needs a fiancée.
She needs better life choices.
Cian has a plan—and marriage is not part of it. Ever.
Between being a single dad and a divorce lawyer, he’s seen enough broken promises to last a lifetime. Love is messy. Marriage is a trap. And he has absolutely no intention of falling into either. Until his ex threatens to take custody of their daughter.
Her argument? A commitment-phobic bachelor can’t offer a stable home.
Cian’s solution? Simple. Desperate. Slightly unhinged.
A fiancée. So he makes one up.
Unfortunately, he uses the name of the woman who’s been driving him insane for years—and haunting his dreams at night.
Hailey has always believed in love. The real, sweeping, meant-to-be kind.
Too bad she’s far better with computers and animals than with people, who have a nasty habit of disappointing her. Repeatedly. Agreeing to be Cian’s fake fiancée is a terrible idea for at least three reasons.
First: they’re friends. Sort of. On good days. On bad days, they argue like it’s a competitive sport.
Second: her life is a complete mess, while his is more organized than a color-coded filing system.
Third—and most dangerous of all—Cian is pure temptation. From his infuriating smirk to his broad shoulders and those hands that make her forget how to think.
Pretending to be in love is easy.
Not kissing him back? Impossible.
And if Hailey ever lets this fake engagement turn real, she’ll lose more than just her mind.
Genre: Romance
