Can a fake engagement give this wealthy veteran a second chance with his first love?
Captain Erik Anderson’s upcoming wedding in small-town Trinity Falls is right on track, until his fiancée dumps him right before the big day. Now he’s desperate for the show to go on. The last thing he wants at Christmastime is to disappoint any of the struggling veterans he’s committed his life to help—men who have become like a family to him.
Then Erik finds himself face to face with Jenny, the girl he loved and lost long ago, and her newly adopted son, Gael. Erik bonds instantly with the funny, inquisitive nine-year-old, and finds himself falling right back into his old feelings for Jenny.
He might even be thinking about second chances, if he weren’t so worried about telling everyone the wedding is canceled.
Just when Erik thinks he'''s all out of options, Gael surprises everyone by asking Jenny to help cheer up the vets by going forward with the wedding, only with her stepping in as a fake bride.
And the moment she agrees, Erik knows he’s in too deep.
But what happens when their pretend engagement starts to feel all too real? Jenny is down-to-earth and fun-loving, and she hits it off right away with his whole crew. And the more time Erik spends with Gael, the more he finds himself wishing the boy really could be his son. It’s everything he ever wanted.
And if he hadn’t missed his chance the first time around with Jenny, maybe this could have been his life.
But for Captain Erik Anderson, that ship has sailed.
Will this fantasy family really break up after the holidays? Or will the pretend newlyweds fake it until they actually make it?
