Swooned By You: A Spicy Fake Relationship, Forced Proximity, Contemporary Romantic Comedy


Overview

There are two problems with Dr. Theodore Hale. First-his housing permit only gets approved if he has a ""partner."" Second-somehow, I've become the woman who has to fill that role. Annie Wilder has never met a horizon she didn't want to chase. As the CFO of Wilder Horizons, she's in the Galápagos Islands to evaluate a high-stakes expansion into one of the most tightly regulated destinations on earth-and to quietly fix a vendor disaster before it torpedoes the company's reputation. She expects permits, politics, and a whole lot of logistics. She does not expect the grumpy, sunburned marine biologist who looks at her like she's the human embodiment of an invasive species. Dr. Theodore Hale is a world-renowned marine mammal specialist on sabbatical from the University of Florida-brilliant, brutally exacting, and allergic to anything that smells like tourism. His research on Galápagos sea lions is already hanging by a thread of limited funding and stricter-than-strict regulations. The last thing he needs is a corporate travel executive from rival-school Florida State sniffing around his field station... or a paperwork glitch that makes it easier to keep his cottage if everyone believes Annie is his partner. One housing office misunderstanding, one signed form, and one very smug, very infuriating ""It's temporary, Ms. Wilder"" later... Annie and Theo are sharing a tiny cabin, a very real bed, and a very fake relationship the whole island seems invested in. Between professional smack talk, underwater flirting, boat decks crowded with sea lions, and nights when the generator cuts out and the stars feel too close, it gets harder to remember where the act stops and the wanting starts. Swooned By You is a tropical, slow-burn, fake-relationship romantic comedy set in the wild heart of the Galápagos-featuring enemies-to-lovers energy, grumpy professor vs sunshine CFO vibes, forced proximity, scientific chaos, and kisses that feel like losing your balance on a wet dock. Perfect for readers who love smart banter, emotional depth, and men who fall stupid-hard for the one woman they swore they'd never tolerate. Contains: Adult language, adult situations, and one very serious scientist who really wishes she'd stop calling him Teddy... and absolutely does not. Also: one bed, sea lion drama, STEM energy, and enough tropical heat to fog up your snorkel mask. Recommended 18+.
