About The Story

A

As a school librarian, Alexis Stone knows exactly how to handle unruly children. Unruly adults, however, are a completely different story. She is comfortable in her quiet life, far away from the spotlight that burned her in the past. But sometimes, life has a funny way of dragging you right back into the fire.

It all starts with a cat in a burning building. No, really. When Alexis inadvertently becomes a viral sensation after a chaotic rescue attempt, she crosses paths with Logan Arthur. Logan is everything Alexis is not: polished, ambitious, buttoned-up, and running for the governor of Texas. He is stiff, grumpy, and desperately needs to soften his image if he wants to win the election against a smear campaign targeting his bachelor status.

The internet, in its infinite wisdom, decides they are dating. It is a disaster. Or is it an opportunity? Logan needs a girlfriend to prove he is a family man. Alexis needs the media to stop digging into her past. The solution is classic, messy, and undeniable: a fake dating pact.
