To fulfill a promise to her late father, Aubrey Lynn posts an ad to hire a fake boyfriend for Christmas. But when ex-marine Knox Mikelson shows up, with his arrogant attitude and clear dislike for her, she gets more than she bargained for.
I actually made the cover above! It's kinda cute...
8 months later....
"It's okay don't panic! We can fix this! I just need some thread. Thread!"
"Here! I found some!"
"It's okay, it's okay. I got this."
I stared down at Leah and she frantically kneels down to fix the tiny little tear in my wedding dress. I grinned at how panic-y she was when I was completely calm. You would think it is her wedding not mine.
"Leah calm down, its fine."
"Don't worry Aubrey I fixed it. See can't even tell." She stood with a grin. I shook my head at her. Knowing it was better to just go with it I grabbed her hands and squeezed.
"Thank you." She beamed at me and squeezed my hands right back.
"You look gorgeous Aubrey." She didn't even give me time to respond back before she pulled her hands free. "I need to check on the boys and the photographer. I'll be right back!" With that Leah practically ran out of the room. For someone wearing heels she sure was fast.

"Is it mean that I want him to?" I laughed as I looked at her through the mirror.
"If he doesn't I'll kick his shin so he will." Olivia joked back.
I turned my eyes back to my reflection as I thought back to the day Knox proposed.
I probably should have seen the signs that he was up to something. We were at my mom's for Christmas and throughout out the day I hadn't noticed everyone whispering to each other. Now I look back on it I could see that I was being distracted by my nieces, Sophie and Charlotte, most of the day. The two kept pleading with me to play with them and then watch a movie. The entire time unknown to me everyone was setting things up.
