Who knew a bogus ring could tie me to the heart of Riverwood and its most eligible bachelor, Chris Cyprus.
A vineyard at stake, a legacy on the line.
I never imagined that a one-night stand with my ex would lead to a proposal.
I’m the girl dreaming of a life beyond this small-town horizon.
Chris, with his deep roots and deeper pockets, believes in tradition, family, and a love that’s forever.
We’re like fire and ice, yet here we are, faking an engagement to save his inheritance and my dreams of escape.
The terms? Simple: Pretend to be madly in love, fool everyone, and especially outsmart a rival family hell-bent on claiming the Cyprus legacy.
But as our fake kisses start feeling a tad too real, I can’t help but wonder? Is this charade a ticket out, or am I walking straight into a trap set by my own heart?
As the lines of our make-believe romance blur, I find myself drawn to the idea of a life I never wanted before.
Chris’s touch promises forever, but can a love built on lies ever be true?
Or will the final reveal tear us apart, leaving the vineyard?and us?forever fractured.
