Being a chef in the highly competitive food truck scene of Bluebell Falls means I don't have much time for romance. But try telling that to my mom. With my sister's wedding around the corner, she's on a mission to set me up with every eligible bachelor she can find.

The solution?

A fake boyfriend.

(Where can I find one of those anyway?)

When Chase Martin, my too-hot-for-the-kitchen boss, volunteers to be my date, I can't say no. He'll be at the wedding anyway, and pretending to be in a relationship with him for a weekend is better than enduring Mom's matchmaking marathon.

It's just a harmless ruse, right?

(Tell that to my racing heart.)

Our pretend kisses and practiced touches feel real to me. I can't tell if it's just the romance in the air or if there's something truly simmering between us.

Now I'm faced with a choice: keep my distance and protect myself from heartache, or take a leap of faith and see if this delicious deception could turn into true love.
