A SPECIAL PONDEROSA RESORT NOVELLA!

I'm totally over having my heart stomped six years ago. So what's with the mule kick to the chest when I spot the girl who ghosted me?

Turns out she's not my teenage fling, but her twin sister?and she needs a fake date to her cousin's wedding.

I'm game, especially since Val fires me up like no one I've ever met. She's smart and funny and sweet and is it wrong that I'm diggin' this bogus boyfriend role?

As our make-believe romance melts into real-deal territory, things get hotter than a habanero on a bonfire. But what happens when her sister shows up?

Or worse, when I fall in love with my fake summer fling.

When Tawna Fenske finished her English lit degree at 22, she celebrated by filling a giant trash bag full of romance novels and dragging it everywhere until she'd read them all. Now she's a RITA-nominated, USA Today bestselling author who writes humorous fiction, risqué romance, and heartwarming love stories with a quirky twist. Publishers Weekly has praised Tawna's offbeat romances with multiple starred reviews and noted, "There's something wonderfully relaxing about being immersed in a story filled with over-the-top characters in undeniably relatable situations. Heartache and humor go hand in hand."

Tawna lives in Bend, Oregon, with her husband, stepkids, and a menagerie of ill-behaved pets. She loves hiking, snowshoeing, standup paddleboarding, and inventing excuses to sip wine on her back porch. She can peel a banana with her toes and loses an average of twenty pairs of eyeglasses per year. To find out more about Tawna and her books, visit www.tawnafenske.com.
