Fall Fake-Out: A Sweet Romantic Comedy

Kortney Keisel

The relationship is fake. The feelings are not.Ari Langford thought rock bottom looked like a breakup, an empty bank account, and moving back in with her parents. Then her younger sister got engaged.Now Ari’s back home in Vermont, watching the entire town lose their minds over the “wedding of the century” while her mother keeps trying to set her up with every single man within a fifty-mile radius. That’s rock bottom.The only bright spot? Wade Stevenson.Unfortunately, Wade is also the problem.The charming high school principal has a reputation for flirting first and thinking later, and half the town is still waiting for him to screw up so bad he loses his job. So when a student’s inappropriate crush threatens to turn into dangerous rumors, Wade needs a respectable girlfriend fast. Ari needs her mother off her back. Fake dating seems like the perfect solution.Until the lines between fake and real start to blur.Because suddenly they’re sharing cider donuts at the fall festival, sitting by each other at the football games, and spending more time together than either of them planned. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends.And Ari’s not sure which is scarier: Wade breaking her heart or realizing he actually could.This book is part of the Falling for Autumn series, eight interconnected standalones written by eight amazing authors:The Bodyguard’s Fall by Cindy SteelAutumn on My Mind by Gracie Ruth MitchellResisting the Fall by Jess HeilemanFalling for Keeps by Kasey StocktonOnce Upon a Fall by Becky MonsonFall Fake-Out by Kortney KeiselForbidden to Fall by Martha KeyesAutumn Kissed by Deborah M.
