is overrated…
Exhausted single mom Daisy Garner is shocked when her
blog about life with Darling Husband and Baby Delight in their charming Victorian
home brings a national talk show to her door.
Amazing! Except she made the whole thing up.
Panic! Now she needs to borrow a Victorian house and
find a man to play her fake husband on TV.
Travis O'Hare steps up for the role, as long as she'll
marry him for real. He wants their son to have the stable home life Travis
never had.
But before the wedding can happen, Travis and Daisy
have to get through the interview with a ratings hungry host and a slick
producer with ties to Daisy's troubled past. When a winter storm traps them
all, it begs the question: can two people pretending at love finally discover
the real thing?
Excerpt
“Don’t call me wifey,” Daisy snapped, marching upstairs
to her second-floor apartment.
“What do you want to be called?” Trav asked, keeping
pace with her up the stairs.
“I don’t know…honey or sweetie.” She jammed the key in
the lock and burst into her apartment. She snatched a baby rattle, some blocks,
and a stuffed rabbit off the floor. “Just grab everything.”
Trav stood there, doing absolutely nothing.
She glanced back at him. “Why aren’t you helping?”
He set down his toolbox. “Are you okay, honey-sweetie?”
She knew he was joking with the endearment, but it
still made her throat go tight over the caring she heard there. She threw the
baby toys on the sofa. “I really screwed up.”
“How so?” He stepped closer, but didn’t touch her, for
which she was thankful. She didn’t want to cave and sob in his arms, letting
him take care of everything. Still, she couldn’t help sharing her misery.
“I’m pretending to be happily married with a beautiful
house and a darling sweet baby on TV. It’s all a lie! I’ll probably crack under
the pressure and admit I’m a fraud. Everyone will hate me.”
“No, they won’t,” he said firmly. “It’ll be fine.
Besides, we’ll be happily married the next day.”
She shook her head. “This is my worst one yet.”
“You’re really doing a number on my ego here.”
“Nothing personal,” Daisy rushed to say.
He cocked his head. “It’s a little personal.”
“I’m sorry. You’ve been a dream through all this. I’m
fine. Let’s pack up.”
She turned and gathered the toys off the sofa, yelping
in surprise as Trav scooped her up. He settled on the sofa with her on his lap.
She dropped the toys and gave him a good glare over her shoulder. “Trav, stop
fooling around. We’ve got to get everything set up.”
She leaped off his lap. He grabbed her and put her back
in place.
“We’re gonna take a little trip in the ol’ Trav time machine.”
She fought to get up, but he had her hips clamped
firmly in his strong hands.
“Stop wiggling, honey-sweetie, or we’re gonna take a
very different kind of trip.”
