Max Sampson is impossible. Loud, cocky, endlessly charming—and now, thanks to our parents’ marriage, he’s basically family. Which means I have to tolerate him. Barely.
He loves to tease me, loves to see me blush, and somehow manages to show up everywhere I am. But when I need a fake boyfriend to get me through the holidays—long story, meddling relatives—Max is my only option.
It’s supposed to be pretend. A few family dinners, a few strategic kisses, and we’ll call it even. But somewhere between the fake smiles and the stolen glances, things start to feel dangerously real.
Because underneath the swagger, Max has a heart as big as his grin… and pretending not to fall for him might be the hardest part of all.
