Cole and Allison have been in love for as long as either of them could remember. They had gone from sandbox partners, to high school sweethearts, and then to husband and wife. They had always been in love.
Until one day they weren't.
Marital problems were nothing new to the world, but having them right before your sister's destination wedding complicated some things. To avoid taking attention away from his sister and her fiancé, Cole and Allison decide to pretend to still be together for the duration of the wedding. The family vacation to Aruba prior to the wedding may complicate things, but they both agreed to fake it.
This was the decision that was best for everyone. They would figure things out and tell everyone about the separation when they got back from the trip. And so, they would just have to fake it... just for now.

Faking With You
Romance Trope: fake dating. When he offers to be my fake fiancé to get my parents off my back, I don't take into consideration what could happen once we start acting the part of being in a relationship. It feels like a safe plan since it's Finn, the goofy playboy not looking for anything serious, but the more layers I peel back, the more I discover about the real man hiding behind the sarcasm and witty retorts. And when we decide to take the relationship into the bedroom, stripping off more than just our clothes, I find it harder and harder to protect myself. The only control I seem to have is my one rule: no kissing. But I have a confession: I maybe, kind of, sort of (read: really fucking badly) want him to kiss me. Once that final barrier is breached, though, then what? Surely the fake status of our relationship can't be more than just that - fake. Right? [This is BOOK THREE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.]Complete
