Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

She was unlucky in love. He was just unlucky.Avery Lawson has spent years juggling a demanding job at Ever Elite magazine, an endless string of terrible dates, and constant pressure from her mother to settle down. But when a date at a local bar takes a dangerous turn, and the quiet owner steps in to help her, Avery's streak of bad luck finally leads her somewhere interesting.

Right when she needs it the most.

After a family dinner turns her world upside down, Avery is determined to finally satisfy her mother-and ensure her father's fading memory holds onto a version of her that's happily in love.

Jameson Brownley doesn't believe in luck. Life has already proven how quickly everything good can disappear, including the ones he loves the most. Between running Iron & Ivy-his late sister's bar on the verge of collapse-and holding together the last fragile pieces of his family's past, he's barely keeping his head above water. The only constants in his life are hard work, two unruly dogs, and the weight of everything he's trying not to lose.

Falling for someone was never part of the plan.

But agreeing to fake date her? That's different.

What starts as a simple arrangement quickly becomes something neither of them can control. Especially when Avery's career collides with Jameson's livelihood, and the line between pretend and real disappears completely. With secrets, deadlines, and unexpected visitors threatening to unravel everything, Avery and Jameson must decide if taking a chance on each other is worth defying the odds.

What are the odds that something fake can survive becoming real?
