She needs a hero to save her beloved bookshop. He needs a girlfriend to satisfy his mother’s dying wish.

Can this grump and sunshine pair work out the perfect deal for a happily ever after?

If Cassidy Woods could make one dream come true, it would be to save her struggling bookshop from closing its doors. So when wealthy investor Liam Henry announces he is shutting down her store, Cassidy will do anything to change his mind, including becoming his girlfriend.

Liam Henry is running out of time. His mother’s final wish is that he’d meet the girl of his dreams before it’s too late. But Liam doesn’t stand a chance without some kind of help. No woman can see past his grumpy exterior to discover if he has a beating heart under his designer suit.

When his mother advertises his search for a girlfriend, Liam makes the best and worst plan of his life: ask Cassidy to become his fake girlfriend. Too bad she’s his gorgeous employee who’s about to get axed from her job.

Cassidy’s sunshine is the perfect opposite to his grump, forcing Liam to make an outrageous trade off he’s destined to regret.

Now everybody’s happy, except the mismatched couple who are headed toward a bumpy road that unravels every tightly constructed argument they’ve put up against love. In the end, only one of them can win.

When they’re thrown together in a race against time, will a plot twist they didn’t see coming ruin everything?

Or will they discover that in fooling everyone, the only person who’s fallen for it is themselves?

A delightful, sweet romance with a grumpy boss and plucky heroine, both who are determined to save the day even if that means teaming up in a fake engagement to do it.

My Thoughts:

This was a sweet and romantic read with the trope of a fake relationship that turns complicated until the couple realizes that they are in love with each other. I had so much fun reading this warm-hearted story and I look forward to more from new to me author Worthington.

Liam Henry is rich and almost untouchable, except when it comes to his mother and niece. He comes across as a ruthless businessman, to most everybody else he was very grumpy, but he is a noble character deep down in his soul. His mother, who is dying of cancer, wants so much for him to find the right woman to love, especially when she is gone. Liam resists her at every turn until she takes matters into her own hands.

Cassidy Woods has been heart broken in love before and also is managing epilepsy. Her one passion is the Books Forever bookstore and her children's program. Unfortunately, the store is not making any profit and the owners have sold it to the one and only Liam Henry. The same one that she already had an unfortunate meeting with. The story opens up with that eventful circumstance.

However, Liam needs help, and he figures Cassidy would be just the one to help him since she is already disgusted with him, and she needs a favor in return. But neither of them realizes the power of their attraction or the sacrifices of true love.

This was a great small town romantic story to escape into.

More from Grace

If I could send you anywhere on vacation to relax, I’d send you to Wild Harbor. It’s the perfect spot to fall in love and raise a family–the type of town you’ll never want to leave once you visit.

A Wedding in Wild Harbor is set in this fictional town on Lake Michigan, a place where you can sink your toes in the sand, let the waves lull you to sleep, and marvel over the gorgeous sunsets.

I created the fictional town based off of the quaint small towns along Lake Michigan that look like they belong in a Hallmark movie. It’s the quintessential small town with meddling neighbors, quirky townsfolk, and a coffee shop where everyone knows you by name.

The Wild Harbor sweet romance series follows the stories of four siblings–three sisters and one brother–and their journey to find love. Each story is a standalone and they don’t have to be read in order, though characters reappear in each book.

I hope the sweet love story and charming town give you a needed escape from your fast-paced life.
