The Story
Beau Callahan, heir to Magnolia Creek’s legendary biscuit empire, is tired of being set up by everyone in town. When mysterious food critic Lila Monroe suggests they pretend to date, it seems like the perfect solution.
But fake dates, shared biscuits, and a town determined to turn their pretend romance into the real thing have a way of changing the rules.
Lila knows she should keep her distance—especially when the secret she’s hiding could threaten Beau’s family business. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to remember which parts of their romance are pretend.
Sometimes the sweetest love stories start with a little deception.
A sweet, closed-door Southern fake-dating romance filled with biscuits, matchmaking, laughter, and happily-ever-after.
