The plan was simple: pretend to be in love. Do not actually fall in love.
When I kiss a stranger in the middle of Hunter’s Creek, it seems like the perfect solution to a temporary problem. Now Christopher Young—city guy, expensive suit, and completely out of place in my small town—is pretending to be my boyfriend, and the entire town is completely invested in our relationship.
Which would be fine, except for a few things:
He’s only in Hunter’s Creek for a short time.
I’m trying to save my aunt’s café.
And this fake dating is starting to feel a little too real.
Small towns have long memories, busybodies with excellent hearing, and a tendency to turn relationships into town-wide entertainment. Suddenly Christopher is coming to family dinners, helping out at the café, and looking at me like this might not be pretend after all.
This was supposed to be simple. It was not supposed to involve feelings. And I definitely wasn’t supposed to fall in love with my fake boyfriend.
Kissing My Fake Boyfriend is a sweet small-town romantic comedy featuring fake dating, opposites attract, a meddling small town, found family, and a guaranteed happily ever after. This special 2026 edition also includes a brand-new bonus epilogue: Christopher proposing!
Welcome to Hunter’s Creek, a small town where gossip travels fast, matchmaking is considered a community service, and the Cole sisters are about to discover that love can find you when you least expect it. Each book in the Sisters and Sweethearts series can be read as a standalone and features a different sister’s love story and a swoony, small-town happily ever after.
