What do you do when your fake engagement starts to feel too real…
Aspiring clothes designer Victoria Scott dreams of one day opening her own boutique. But these aspirations are under threat from the new department store opening at the end of her road. She needs a Christmas miracle, but one is not forthcoming.
Oliver Russell’s Christmas is not looking very festive right now. The opening of his family’s new London department store is behind schedule, and his interfering, if well-meaning, mother is pressing him to settle down. He needs a diversion. Something to keep his mother from meddling while he focuses on business.
When Oliver meets Victoria, he offers a proposition: pretend to be his fiancé at the opening of his store and he will provide an opportunity for Victoria to showcase her designs. Only soon this fake relationship starts to feel very real. But when secrets in Victoria’s past are exposed will Oliver walk away, or will they both follow their hearts and find what neither knew they were looking for…?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A fake engagement between a department store heir and an up-and-coming fashion designer turns all too real in this charming Christmas rom-com from British reality TV star Toffolo (Always Smiling). Oliver Russell's father is seriously ill, causing his high-strung mother to direct her anxiety at Oliver's love life. But Oliver's so busy taking over the family business and fixing the mess his cousin Andrew made by opening a new store in London's Chelsea neighborhood, that he doesn't have time to date, let alone marry and produce the requested grandkids. He drunkenly proposes to his local bartender, Victoria Scott, and, after he proves his good-heartedness by following her advice to reach out to the tight-knight Chelsea community, Victoria agrees to be his fake fiancé for the holiday season. Their burgeoning intimacy stirs up Victoria's insecurities about her infertility in a nuanced subplot that unfortunately goes unresolved after Andrew threatens to reveal this information to Oliver and his parents. Readers will be frustrated that Andrew never receives his comeuppance, but armchair travelers will adore this tour of Christmastime London.
