I came to Boston to start over behind the counter of my café, but Forrest Wolfcraft still claims a table four days a week with his rescue dog, Puck.
Our families have been enemies since before we were born, and after my brother married into his, we were ordered to keep the peace.
Forrest is a retired hockey player with a closed-off manner, yet he refuses to be the rival I was raised to hate.
When a family wedding and pressure from my mother leave me facing eight months of questions about my personal life, I ask him to play the part of my date.
He agrees, and the trouble is that Forrest Wolfcraft keeps making a fake relationship look more devoted than anything real I have known.
