Fake Dating the Grump Next Door

(2025)
A novel by

 
 
I agreed to fake-date the grumpy billionaire ex-hockey star next door. We played it so well, I forgot it wasn’t real.

I put my goals on hold to run my mom’s bakery. I love baking sweets for the town, but I have no time for sweets of my own.

Then Brody shows up. Big-city billionaire. Former pro hockey player. Temporary neighbor with a permanent scowl.

He’s here to help an old teammate—but my cat Mozart, and all this small town, have other plans.

When a photo sparks dating rumors, we fake it—to keep the matchmakers off his back and boost bakery sales.

But Brody’s not only gruff and gorgeous. He’s kind, protective, and somehow inspires me to grow.

To my surprise, I’m falling for him.

Then reality hits—he gets a dream offer back in the city....

If we can’t find a way forward, we’ll lose the one thing that was starting to feel real.

A sweet romance, full of sizzling chemistry without the explicit heat.
