Fake dating is easy when you're too smart to fall in love.
Right?
Clementine Miller is used to being passed over. The middle child in a family of doctors, she thought she was breaking the mold by going into physical therapy. But her big dreams didn't quite work out the way she thought they would. Now she's stuck secretly pining for her boss in a town she can't wait to escape from.
It could be worse, she reminds herself. She could still be crushing on her sister's friend Austin while working reception at her family's clinic.
Dr. Austin Gibson is bored. Working in Jasper Creek with the Millers was the perfect distraction from his heartbreak in the big city, but three years later things have become way too predictable. When he sees Clementine struggling to catch her boss's eye, he steps in, thrilled by the challenge of pretending to be her boyfriend. After all, Austin's been using women to forget about his heartbreak for years-why shouldn't a friend use him to find her own happiness?
Fake dating works like a charm. Austin is entertained, and Clementine's boss is paying her way more attention. But Clementine isn't the same shy woman she used to be, and Austin wonders if he's set himself up for a repeat of the disappointment that brought him to Jasper Creek.
Should he brace for heartache, or will Clementine realize that what she thought she wanted-and who-may not be right for her after all?
