An auto accident with a bad boy sparks a fake engagement…is it fate or a heartbreaking mistake?
After her fiancé dumped her just months before their wedding, Liza Sorenson swore off dating. The holiday season is ruined when Liza is forced to attend a design conference and meet with her ex—the guy who now wants her back. She needs help to fend off her ex, so when she gets into an accident with Jaime Maldonado, she sees an opportunity.
After a run-in with the police, Jaime becomes the “bad boy” of Echo Ridge. He needs to present a good image to fight off his ex-wife and win an upcoming court battle involving the custody of his son. An auto accident is the last thing he needs until he realizes he might be able to use it to his advantage.
Jaime and Liza enter into a fake engagement, each with the intention of using the other to solve their problems, but they didn’t bargain on getting their hearts entangled with their agreement. Liza is hesitant to trust and Jaime is hiding a secret bigger than she could ever imagine. Will this fake engagement damage their hearts or help them find a way to heal?

About Rachelle J. Christensen
Rachelle J. Christensen was born and raised in a small farming town in Idaho. She enjoys singing and songwriting, playing the piano, running, motivational speaking, and of course reading. Rachelle has an amazing husband, five cute kids, three cats, and dozens of chickens.
Despite having some heavy themes, this book felt light and sweet. I love fake fiancé stories and this one could be a Hallmark movie plot. It does deal with drug addiction, drinking, a manipulative boss, a crazy ex-wife and crazy ex-boyfriend so that would make it one of the edgier movies but still it didn’t feel too dragged down by those topics. The fake relationship was the main focus and how the uncertainty of lying about their engagement made everything muddy between them. It doesn’t take long to read and made for an enjoyable evening.
