---------------
From duelling delis to fake dating . . .
Ellie Greco loves her hometown and family-run deli, but she'd always thought she was meant for more exciting things than stocking the right tinned fish. Until a gourmet food department store moving in nearby threatens the very existence of Greco's Deli.
She pleads her case to Theo Taylor, scion of the property management firm that's about to put her out of business, but their meeting goes from bad (he's infuriating) to worse (no one expects the ceiling to fall on him).
With Theo out cold, Ellie panics, claims to be his fiancée . . . and almost passes out herself when amnesia means Theo actually believes her. The effects of the head injury soon wear off, yet Theo proposes that their "engagement" stick around. If they manage to convince enough people, they might succeed in ending the department store deal.
But when Theo's ex-fiancée reappears on the scene, Ellie is forced to decide between a blossoming friendship, her family legacy, and the burgeoning romance she frankly never asked for.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With this delightfully tropey rom-com, Gagnon (Scenes of the Crime) introduces Ellie Greco, who returns to her hometown of Milborough, Mass., from New York City to run her family's decades-old deli after the death of her father. Upon learning that Taylor Property Management is planning to make a deal to entice an upscale Italian grocer to town, Ellie sets out to stop the scheme before it can put the deli out of business. Her meeting with Theo Taylor, son of the property management firm's CEO, ends in disaster, however, when a freak accident lands Theo in the hospital with a head injury. A panicked Ellie tells the EMTs that she's his fiancée so she can stay with him—only for Theo to wake up with amnesia and believe her lie. Theo's memory soon returns, but he proposes they maintain their fake engagement to stop his father from going through with the grocery deal, believing that Ellie will have more sway as Theo's fiancée. Fake dating gives rise to attraction and intimacy, and Gagnon expertly combines humor and tenderness as this unlikely couple discovers hidden depths in each other. This is a sweet confection.
