Fake Dating the Grump: A Small-Town Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (Pine Ridge Grumps)

I agreed to fake-date a grumpy billionaire single dad to save his custody case, and now I’m in love with both of them.

I run chaos at Snowcap Lodge with a clipboard and too much coffee. Dominic Santiago limps in on crutches, glaring at me like I killed his dog.

He’s a widowed NHL billionaire still mourning his wife. I’m the activities director, and his five-year-old won’t leave me alone.

Then his mother arrives with files, lawyers, and doubts about Dom’s ability to give his son what he needs.

His solution? Convince her he’s moved on. His weapon of choice? Ask me to play his girlfriend.

But fake dates turn into real kisses, late-night confessions into hope.

I stop faking it the night I find them curled up together, Dom whispering dragon stories while Leo drifts to sleep.

Dom falls first and I follow after. And Leo? He’s already ours.

If his mother finds out that our relationship is fake,

She’ll take Leo, and both of us will be shattered.

This can be read as a standalone novel with a guaranteed HEA!
