Pretend Partners at the Cafe

Lizzie Bennet owns a cafe in Selah Falls, keeps a circle of loyal friends, and treasures the small-town life she built—except for her mother, who is determined to see her settled.

When she needs a date for her best friend’s wedding and the cafe is struggling to stay open, both problems land on her at once.

Will Darcy came to town to get away from his wealthy family rather than play a part, yet his plans fail and Lizzie’s offer of a job at the cafe changes the path in front of him.

Posing as her boyfriend and business partner would give her a wedding date and a way to keep the doors open, while giving him work and a reason to stay.

They count on wanting nothing more than a practical fix, but sharing the cafe makes the line between convenience and real attraction dangerously thin.
