Borrowed Trouble

Borrowed Trouble -

Maddie Bennett has a talent for creating chaos.

Ethan Cole has a talent for avoiding it.

So naturally, they make the perfect fake couple.

When Maddie accidentally tells her family she's dating Ethan - Blue Ridge Falls' most polished, serious, rule-following attorney - she expects him to shut the lie down immediately. Instead, Ethan surprises her by agreeing to play along. After all, pretending to date Maddie helps him dodge his own family's matchmaking plans.

The rules are simple: keep it believable, keep it temporary, and absolutely do not let feelings get involved.

Unfortunately, Blue Ridge Falls has other plans.

Between meddling mothers, town gossip, Hart House events, stolen glances, and kisses that start feeling far too real, Maddie and Ethan's pretend relationship begins to blur into something neither of them expected. Maddie is loud, impulsive, and impossible to ignore. Ethan is careful, guarded, and far more tempting than any fake boyfriend has a right to be.

But when the lie starts looking like love, both of them must decide whether they're brave enough to stop pretending.

Borrowed Trouble is a warm, witty small-town romance with fake dating, opposites-attract chemistry, meddling family, cozy Hart House charm, and a happily-ever-after worth the trouble.
