When a wedding looms and your ex's new girlfriend is unbearably perfect, bringing a fake boyfriend seems like genius—except the hottest baker in town bails at the last second, and suddenly your brother's best friend (and sworn enemy) is stepping in to save the day. Thing is, you and Wyatt already have history: one explosive night of hate sex that left you both pretending it never happened, and now he's acting all protective and possessive in front of your entire family. The chemistry is absolutely undeniable, the banter is chef's kiss, and somewhere between the chaos of the wedding festivities and his adorable kid, those feelings you're definitely not supposed to have start becoming impossible to ignore. This is the kind of laugh-out-loud, steam-filled romance where the best love stories hide behind years of "we can't stand each other"—and watching these two finally get their act together is pure joy.
Reading soundtrack
Mix upbeat pop-rock energy with sultry R&B and indie swagger. Think witty banter meets tension, playful flirtation with undercurrent heat. Include artists like The 1975, SZA, Arctic Monkeys, and Lizzo—confident, fun, and undeniably sexy. Contemporary romance that's laugh-out-loud and swoon-worthy.
