Just when you thought a fake engagement couldn’t get any messier…
Let’s review the foolishness, shall we?
Finn planned to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Shondra.
Shondra dumped him by text.
Finn panicked and proposed to a stranger.
She agreed because, quite frankly, her life couldn’t get much worse.
His mother fell in love with her.
His family welcomed her.
And Finn?
Well, let’s just say the man who was supposed to be pretending is having a difficult time remembering which kisses are fake.
Everything is going beautifully.
Which means, of course, it’s time for somebody to ruin it.
Enter Shondra.
The ex-girlfriend.
The woman who walked away.
The woman who apparently didn’t expect Finn to find another fiancée before the evening was over.
And now she’s back with an announcement guaranteed to turn everyone’s world upside down.
“Thomas, I’m pregnant.”
Oh.
OH.
Now, I’m not saying Shondra has ulterior motives.
I’m just saying the timing is mighty convenient.
And if you think that’s the biggest secret in this story, sweetie, you haven’t read a Sylvia Hubbard romantic suspense novel before.
Some secrets should stay buried. Others refuse to die.
Because while Finn struggles with the possibility of becoming a father, his mysterious fake fiancée has her own questions.
Questions about the mother she never knew.
Questions about the circumstances surrounding her abandonment as a newborn.
And questions about why someone from her past seems determined to keep certain secrets hidden.
She has no idea what she’s about to discover.
This November, a fake engagement on the Detroit Riverwalk becomes a tangled story of dangerous secrets, jealous exes, unexpected passion, and a woman discovering that the truth about her beginning could change everything about her future.
And yes, SneakReaders.
There will be romance.
There will be suspense.
There will be kisses that should NOT be happening.
And there will definitely be somebody who needs to sit down, shut up, and explain themselves.
Preferably under oath.
