Faked With Love (Cloverton Romance Book 1)

Olivia Hooper is making a name for herself as owner of the flourishing Cloverton Sweets Bakery. When her older brother, Wes, makes plans to visit their parents in Florida over the holidays, Olivia insists he’ll have to go without her. There is no way she can close her shop during her busiest season of the year.

Ever since they were kids, Mannie Nikos has seen Olivia as a thorn in his side. Now that they are adults, that feeling has grown. Mannie is obsessed with maintaining and promoting a healthy lifestyle and does his best to keep his clients out of Cloverton Sweets. Naturally, this has taken their rivalry to the next level.

When Wes asks Mannie to invite Olivia to spend Christmas with his family so she won’t be alone, Mannie is reluctant. Until he realizes this might be a way out of a predicament of his mother’s making. His grandparents are visiting from Greece and are expecting to meet his longtime girlfriend—one that he doesn’t have. He and Olivia have always butted heads, but she knows him well enough to pull off a fake relationship for a few weeks.

So long as things go as planned.
