Things We Never Said: A Sweet Fake Fiancé Romantic Comedy (Healing in Costa Rica)

About this book

Rory Lane is hitting rock bottom. Between a final warning at work and an eviction notice triggered by her chaotic pet bird, her life is in total disarray. Desperate to avoid arriving at her cousin’s luxury destination wedding as the family’s resident failure, she hatches a desperate plan: she needs a fake fiancé to save face. Enter her best friend’s twin brother—the one man she’s spent years treating as her ultimate nemesis. He is frustratingly successful, infuriatingly composed, and has a knack for getting under her skin like no one else. But with no other options, Rory strikes a deal to have him play the part of her devoted partner for the weekend. The arrangement relies on a simple performance, but the tropical heat of Costa Rica makes it increasingly difficult to keep things professional. As they navigate shared villa living, convincing displays of affection, and undeniable chemistry, the lines between their ruse and reality begin to blur. Rory soon discovers that maintaining the charade is the least of her problems; the real danger is finding herself wanting the relationship to be real. This sweet, closed-door romantic comedy explores whether two longtime enemies can find healing and love in paradise.
