The Fake Mate
Mackenzie Carter is tired of disappointing dates and even more tired of her grandmother's relentless questions about when she'll finally settle down. In a moment of desperation, she claims to have found the perfect mate—except the name that slips out belongs to the one man she never imagined dating.
Noah Taylor.
Brilliant, reserved, and notoriously difficult to get close to, Noah is the last person Mackenzie expects to agree to her plan. But Noah has problems of his own. When a secret he's worked hard to keep hidden threatens both his reputation and career, a fake relationship suddenly seems like the perfect solution.
What starts as a mutually beneficial arrangement quickly becomes more complicated as the two spend time together. Beneath Noah's gruff exterior is a loyal and caring man, while Mackenzie's optimism begins to break through walls Noah thought would never come down.
As pretend feelings start to feel all too real, Mackenzie and Noah discover that navigating love may be far more challenging than maintaining the perfect cover story.
Filled with humor, heart, and paranormal charm, The Fake Mate is a delightful romantic comedy about taking chances, embracing who you are, and finding love when you least expect it.
