When Forever Falls Apart: The perfect small-town, fake-dating romance following a runaway bride and her best friend's brother

A runaway bride fake dates her best friend's older brother in this spicy-but-sweet small town romance from the beloved author of How to Break My Heart.

Maddy Beaumont has been dubbed the runaway bride of Cinnamon Springs after leaving her ex, Myles, at the altar and escaping to Manhattan. But she can’t escape the town’s judgment for long – months later, she’s forced to return home for her brother’s wedding, and Maddy is surprised by feelings of jealousy when she learns Myles has a new fiancée.

Did she make a mistake by calling off the wedding? There’s only one way to find out. In an effort to test the waters with Myles, Maddy strikes a deal with pastry chef Elliot, her best friend’s charming older stepbrother. In return for her help with his new café, he’ll be her fake boyfriend so she doesn’t have to face Myles alone.

But the more time Maddy spends with Elliot, the more she realises what they share might not be so fake after all . . .
