They’d been pushed up and separated and put on display in the V of her dress. As she drew closer, he noticed a light sheen on her lips that made him think of bites taken from fresh fruit.Įvery inch the sweet girl next door. Hair that she’d hidden beneath an orange wig earlier was in a braid that sat on one shoulder. She’d traded her clown suit for a loose summer dress and sandals that crisscrossed up her legs and tied below the knee. No skirt this time, but he felt that low stirring in his belly regardless. He was prepared to question why she didn’t simply pull in headfirst, but the words died on Travis’s lips when Georgie came into view. By Georgie’s third attempt to back into a parking space, Travis was shaking his head. It’s a recipe for the perfect love story.Travis opened the driver’s-side door and climbed out, turning to lean up against it. Not only is it hilarious, it’s sweet, endearing, heartwarming and downright sexy. “Her voice feels as fresh and contemporary as a Netflix rom-com.” -Entertainment Weekly

But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman and there’s nothing fake about how much he wants her. What’s the harm? It’s not like it’s real. When she proposes a wild scheme-that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job-he agrees. And then there's Georgie, his best friend’s sister, who is not a kid anymore. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. Travis Ford was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite? Maybe if people think she’s having a steamy love affair, they’ll acknowledge she’s not just the “little sister” who paints faces for a living. Nobody’s asking the town clown out for a night of hot sex, that’s for sure. Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’t been on a date since, well, ever. Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!)

Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?) Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.) Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?) She’s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World. Georgie loves planning children’s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. Georgette Castle’s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven’t taken her seriously since. Frankly, she’s over it.
