Playing With Matches
Cori Stratton's a small-town girl. She loves making candles, and her little gift shop is her pride and joy. But when the shop's building goes up for sale, she might lose her home and everything that makes her happy. The worst timing of all? Her landlord's daughter Elizabeth Brennan--popular, smart, and oblivious to Cori's existence in high school--has breezed back into town. Life has not gone according to plan for Elizabeth. Laid off from her job in the city, she's forced back home to help her mom run the family's B and B during a week-long wedding celebration...for Liz's ex. Not wanting the groom to know the shambles her life is, she grabs the nearest person--Cori and tells him how happy they are together. A chance to live out her high school fantasy of Liz as her girlfriend is unexpected, but it keeps Cori playing along. And helping her one-time crush survive this wedding? Just for the week? She can do that. Besides, there's no way this fake relationship will turn into the real deal.
