Second Chance. Fake Relationship. Wedding Weekend. Pretending is over. Now he wants the real thing. In high school, Gio Esposito was the charming golden boy everyone wanted, and Rose Whitman couldn’t believe he chose her. When she learns the truth about who Gio really is, however, she walks away, determined never to risk her heart again. Fifteen years later, Gio reappears in Rose’s life with an unexpected donation to her charity—and questions he’s never been able to let go. To finally get answers, Gio makes Rose an offer: pretend to be his girlfriend at his sister’s New England wedding in exchange for a generous donation. Soon Rose finds herself swept up in Gio’s world of lobster dinners, lighthouses, and laughter with his quirky family. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the feelings that never truly faded. She also realizes that she may have misjudged the man Gio has become.
