When sisters Libby and Rachel open a letter from their late mother, they discover that it’s the first of five. Each letter asks them to scatter their mother’s ashes in a different place, and travel together to the carefully chosen locations.
What begins as an act of remembrance soon becomes a journey into the past. With every trip, the sisters uncover unsettling truths about their family. As questions mount, Libby and Rachel are forced to confront what they thought they knew about their mother, and about themselves.
Along the way, grief gives way to connection, laughter and unexpected romance. Old wounds are reopened, but new bonds are formed, offering the chance of healing and hope.
From the moment I bumped into Drew Ashford I knew one thing: I’d rather lick a subway pole than deal with him again.
Sure, he’s sexy as hell—in a hot movie-villain kind of way. Too bad he’s also obnoxious, arrogant, and worst of all, a dog hater.
Not my problem…if he didn’t own the hotel where the biggest wedding of my career is taking place.
Landing the wedding of a mega-famous reality star couple could make my career. All I need is everything to run smoothly: no scandals, no drama, no Drew.
But when a very compromising, very viral video catches him with the bride, Drew decides to drag me into his mess. Announcing—to millions of the couple’s rabid fans—that we’re engaged!
Spoiler: we are not.
Now to protect the wedding (and our own reputations), Drew convinces me to play along. The ring? Fake. The backstory? Fabricated. The chemistry?
…Unfortunately, very real.
And somewhere between the forced smiles and infuriatingly hot kisses, I start to wonder… what if I hate him a little less than I should?
This book is about Drew Ashwood, a driven hotel manager determined to repair his resort’s tarnished reputation, and Emilia, the talented wedding planner hired to deliver a flawless celebrity ceremony. In this book, professional pressure quickly collides with personal chaos when a photo of Drew in a compromising situation with his ex—the bride-to-be—goes viral. Desperate to control the scandal, he blurts out that Emilia is his fiancée, launching them into a very public fake engagement.
What follows is a fast-paced romantic comedy packed with sharp banter, escalating mishaps, and sizzling chemistry. Drew’s protective, slightly overbearing instincts clash beautifully with Emilia’s competence and independence, creating sparks in every scene they share. As they navigate media scrutiny, wedding disasters, and their undeniable attraction, the line between pretending and real feelings blurs.
Beyond the humor and steam, the story delivers genuine emotional growth. Both characters must confront trust issues and vulnerability to make their relationship work. It’s a witty, engaging fake-fiancée romance with heart, heat, and plenty of laugh-out-loud
