Description
A charming mix-up turns into an unforgettable romance in this delightful romantic comedy from bestselling author Lynn Painter.
Abi Mariano spends her days cleaning luxury apartments while balancing college classes and multiple jobs. When a pest problem forces everyone out of her apartment building, she finds herself with nowhere to stay. Desperate for a temporary solution, she decides to spend the week in the lavish penthouse she looks after, confident its owner is away on business and will never know.
Her plan works perfectly—until an unexpected visit from the owner’s parents changes everything. Mistaking Abi for their son’s girlfriend, they warmly welcome her into the family, leaving Abi caught in a lie she never intended to tell.
Meanwhile, ambitious executive Declan Powell is stunned to discover that his parents have finally met the fictional girlfriend he invented to stop their constant questions about his love life. When he learns the mysterious “girlfriend” is actually the woman who cleans his apartment, he proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement: pretend to be a real couple for a while, and he’ll help solve her housing and financial problems.
What begins as a simple agreement quickly becomes far more complicated as fake dates, growing attraction, and undeniable chemistry blur the line between pretense and reality. As emotions deepen and secrets become harder to hide, Abi and Declan must decide whether their carefully crafted arrangement is just temporary—or the beginning of something real.
Filled with witty banter, heartwarming moments, and irresistible romantic tension, this feel-good story is perfect for readers who love fake dating, opposites-attract romance, and happily-ever-afters.
