Not Part of the Plan Six months after being humiliated and left at the altar, Olandria Carthen leaves Alabama behind for a charming vineyard town tucked away in South Carolina. Teaching preschool gives her the fresh start she desperately needs until an upcoming family reunion reminds her that moving on is much harder than pretending she already has. Nic Vansteenberghe is a devoted single dad raising his two little girls while helping run his family's vineyard. Between school drop offs, bedtime stories, and his family's relentless attempts to set him up, the last thing he wants is another blind date. His solution? A fake girlfriend. Her solution? A fake boyfriend. One simple arrangement. Six months. No strings attached. It should have been easy. Until pretend dates become real memories. Until vineyard sunsets, family dinners, and two little girls begin to feel like home. Until walking away becomes far more complicated than either of them expected. Because sometimes the best things in life... aren't part of the plan.
