They say when one door closes another one opens, right? When the door closed on my marriage, I was fortunate to follow a new dream. One that led me to opening my own bakery in downtown Pine Village. It hasn\u2019t been easy, especially in the offseason, but I make it work. I\u2019m content. Happy.<\/p>\n

Then Kameron Markley showed up on my doorstep, begging me to be his fake girlfriend.<\/p>\n

It seems like such a simple plan, especially when we\u2019re both getting something out of it. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t take long before lines are blurred and crossed, and suddenly, the relationship doesn\u2019t feel so fake after all.<\/p>\n

Kameron<\/span><\/p>\n

For the last decade, I\u2019ve poured my heart and soul into my restaurant, turning a small-town space into a top steak house. The building beside mine has been sitting for as long as I can remember, and the owner is finally ready to sell. The only problem is, she thinks it needs to go to a family man. Suddenly, I\u2019m desperate.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when I come up with the wild idea to find a fake girlfriend.<\/p>\n

Jillian Kirby fits the bill to a T, and with a little negotiation, we\u2019re able to work out a deal where we both come out ahead. What I wasn\u2019t expecting was it being so easy to be around her. Suddenly, the lie we\u2019re telling does feel like it\u2019s so right. I want it to be real.<\/p>\n
