Between Love and Loathing

For fans of Ana Huang and Mia Sheridan, a scorching enemies to lovers romance about a young woman who agrees to fake date a man she despises for a chance to build her dream bakery. nFake dating my enemy so I can design my dream bakery should be easy ... as long as I don't fall in love with him. n nDominic Hardy might be an award-winning architectural engineer with fancy degrees and considerable accolades, but he doesn't know a thing about baking. He probably doesn't even like sugar. n nSo when my late stepfather's will states that Dominic Hardy is set to inherit the Pacific Coast Resort he'd painstakingly designed, as long as my bakery can be plopped in the middle of it, it's no surprise he balks. n nYet, my jaw drops when the will further requires us to mutually approve plans for my bakery's design. n nHis stuffy taste will never mix with my whimsical vibe. n nBut then Dominic comes to me with a proposal I can't refuse. He'll give me everything I want in my bakery as long as I agree to one thing. n nFake date him for five months. n nKeep his ex away by pretending we're in love. n nSmile and stare into his piercing green eyes at a gala or two. n nMaybe share a kiss. n nNothing extreme. n nFive months of acting in love when I really loathe him and his filthy mouth. n nEven when he's using it on me. n nThis should be a cakewalk. n nExcept there's a fine line between love and loathing, and I think I've made the colossal mistake of blurring it.n
