Playing Fake House

(2025)
A novel by

 
 
She left her baby like trash on the curb. Eight years ago. No warning. No plan. Just a note.

Now she’s back—dressed for court and dripping fake concern—and suddenly the woman who actually raised that little girl is being dragged into a custody hearing.

They’re calling her the liar.
The thief.
The fake.


But I’ve seen the truth.
Every time that little girl looks at Janelle like she hung the moon.
Every time Janelle shakes from holding it all in—but still shows up.
Every time she apologizes for loving too hard, when she should be worshipped for not breaking.

She’s not the mom.
Not legally.
Not by blood.
But she’s the only mother that child has ever known.

And I was just her teacher.
Until Janelle let me in.
Now they’re both mine.
And I don’t care what the law says—I’ll bury anyone who tries to take them from me.

She says we’re playing fake house.
I just installed a mailbox with our last name on it.


Read on for courtroom chaos, teacher-daddy softness, found-family devotion, and a man who becomes a father by falling in love with the fiercest fake mother alive. HEA Guaranteed!
