Gavin Gets It

Meet Molly Princeton. She runs a popular dating advice channel that helps everyone else find love while her own romantic life has been stuck in neutral for nine years. Between raising her son, Ollie, juggling bills, and clinging to her “single mom confidence,” she has zero time for real-life romance or the emotional mess that comes with it.

Then her best friend gets married, Molly’s date falls for someone else before dessert, and her kid accidentally cannonballs into the lake. The man who dives in to save him? Gavin Frank. Single dad. Newly reformed. Former slacker. Also her best friend’s ex-husband. The one she is absolutely supposed to hate on principle.

Which is inconvenient.

Because he’s hot.
And kind.
And entirely off-limits.

So of course he ends up being the perfect person to help when Molly gets roped into a high-stakes matchmaking competition with a cash prize she desperately needs.
The catch? She needs a boyfriend for her videos.

Gavin volunteers. Fake dating. Zero consequences. What could go wrong?

Now their pretend dates are getting too flirty, their on-camera chemistry is impossible to ignore, and one unforgettable conversation nearly breaks the internet. Molly knows falling for her best friend’s ex could tank her reputation, her show, and her carefully protected heart, but resisting him is starting to feel impossible.

Molly has to decide if real love is worth breaking her own rules, because the only thing harder than faking a relationship with a single dad like Gavin Frank is admitting you never want it to end.
