Their relationship is fake… The chemistry is not! 🔥

A small-town girl with a secret crush and flowers in her hair. A dark, rugged veteran with scars only she can see. With spring fever all around, could fake dating turn into happily ever after? Gilmore Girls + Friends to Lovers + Spice = ❤️‍🔥

🌸🌸🌸

Zoe Hart is right where she belongs: in her cozy Maple Falls flower shop with her cat Whiskers. But her oldest friend (and secret crush) Jackson is back in their small town too. And most of all, she longs to be in his strong arms. So when her hopelessly romantic mom bets on them being Couple of the Year at the Spring Festival, Zoe finds herself fake-dating the friend-zoned guy she’s always wanted…

When Jackson returns from military service, even working on his llama sanctuary can’t

heal him. But Zoe is the only person who can truly make him smile. He’d do anything for her… even pretend to be dating for the Spring Festival. There’s nothing fake about his feelings as he crushes his lips to hers. But there’s no way she’d really want a broken man like him, would she?

All eyes are on them as the town prepares to vote for Couple of the Year. But when a hidden wildflower meadow becomes their escape, real passion blooms amid falling cherry blossom. Will the magic of spring turn their make-believe romance into true love forever?

Settle down, turn the pages and be whisked away with swirling pink petals into a small town where love is ready to blossom. Perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls, Laurie Gilmore, Emily Henry, and all things cozy + steamy.
