My Surprising Valentine

Showing up solo to my cousin’s Valentine’s Day wedding? Not an option. I can already hear my relatives’ relentless questions about my love life (or lack thereof). So, in a moment of desperation, I do the unthinkable—I agree to fake a relationship.

With him.

Dr. Max Bennett. My brother’s best friend and the devastatingly handsome, commitment-phobic player I’ve been secretly in love with since I was a teenager. The same man who should have been completely off-limits—but now, for one weekend, is completely mine.

What starts as a harmless charade quickly spirals out of control. Those lingering touches and the heated glances that burn straight through me—they don’t feel so fake. And when Max confesses he’s always wanted me, too, I have to wonder … was this ever pretend, or has he been mine all along?
