Overview
Discover the next BRAND NEW laugh-out-loud fake dating romantic comedy from MULTI-MILLION-COPY bestseller Portia MacIntosh 💖Sometimes love shows up in cowboy boots 🐎❣️ Whitney’s life is not going to plan. Her romantic comedy novel isn’t selling, her career feels stuck, and by the time she realises she’s in love with her best friend and roommate, Andy, he’s back from his work trip with a fiancée - and a wedding date that is alarmingly soon. Enter Jake: a cowboy with his own problems, including a country estate he’s desperate to buy and an owner who doesn’t trust developers - or men without roots. When a viral moment throws Whitney and Jake together, they strike a deal. Whitney gets the real-life love story publishers want. Jake gets to look like a committed, family-minded man who belongs at Rosewood. All they have to do is pretend they’re in love. As Andy’s wedding approaches, Whitney uncovers a plot twist that could change everything for him - but the romcom she’s acting out with Jake is starting to feel dangerously real. Falling for your best friend is complicated, but riding off into the sunset with a cowboy is pure fiction… Right?
