New from a Lambda Literary award winner Alexandria Bellefleur, The Fiancée Farce
Why can’t others except that you are happy single? You don’t need to be in a relationship to be happy, right?
Meet Tansy Adams
Tired of dodging questions from her family about her love life, bookstore-owner Tansy Adams decides to make up a girlfriend to get them off her back. She bases the fake lover on the stunning cover model of a bestselling book. Then creates a whole backstory which she enthusiastically shares with anyone who asks. Besides, it isn’t like the two women will ever cross paths, so what could possibly go wrong?!
Meet Gemma Van Dalen
When the real-life Gemma Van Dalen, a wealthy party girl and outcast from her own family, discovers through the grapevine that a beautiful stranger has been pretending to date her, she instantly sees the solution to a difficult issue. In order to inherit Van Dalen Publishing, she must be married. She needs a wife to meet the terms of her grandfather’s will. Tansy needs cash fast to keep her struggling bookstore afloat.
The two women agree to a mutually beneficial arrangement, but they know that it will take some work to fool everyone into thinking that their marriage is a love match. Gemma and Tansy leap into their roles as affectionate lovers, and as they get to know each other, the lines between convenience and real feelings begin to blur and real romantic sparks begin to fly. There may be something real to their relationship after all.
But Gemma’s scheming family, determined to keep Van Dalen Publishing out of her hands, won’t give up without a nasty fight. Do Tansy and Gemma truly have something worth fighting for? Or will their relationship get caught in the crossfire?
