Summary

"You can't Schitt's Creek a town, Tank."

"And you can't verb a noun, son."

When a family of former pro football players buy a small Texas town, they didn't intend to start a war with its residents...or to fall in love.

Ever since his career-ending injury, Pat has bounced from job to job, idea to idea, short-lived relationship to short-lived relationship. But when his father purchases the town of Sheet Cake, Pat suddenly sees his life with clear purpose: get his brothers on board with his dad's wild idea and win back the one woman who got away.

Lindy was supposed to be traveling the world, not stuck in a small town, caring for her niece. But she would do anything to keep custody of Jo, even if that looks like a marriage of convenience with the man who already broke her heart once.

Now, if she can only keep herself from falling back in love with her husband...

This is a small town, marriage of convenience romantic comedy with plenty of sizzle while keeping the bedroom door closed. It's the first in a spinoff series following Harper's brothers (from Falling for Your Best Friend). You don't need to have listened to the Love Clichés series first to enjoy this book.

It's time for Pat to return to Sheet Cake

The narrators in this story really help to make you feel as though you are in their shoes as they navigate the meeting of two characters who went their separate ways each believing that it was for the best.

SO SO GOOD!!

Ex football player. Single parent/Guardian. Second Chance Romance. Marriage of convenience. One bed. A little Forced Proximity. The App threads 😂😂Set in Texas. About Harper's brothers from The Love Clichés ❤️ Can definitely be enjoyed without having read Love Clichés though! Family buys a small, run down town. Such a sweet story! I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series!

Audiobook is FANTASTIC! The narrators are wonderful. Highly recommend!
