A grumpy lobster fisherman tosses a fashion influencer’s impeccably curated life overboard in the next romantic comedy from international bestselling author Amy Lea.
In a last-ditch effort to rescue her brand from the brink of irrelevance, Boston fashion influencer Melanie Karlsen finds herself in a rural fishing village on the east coast of Canada. The only thing scarier than nature itself? The burly and bearded bed-and-breakfast owner and fisherman, Evan Whaler—who single-handedly disproves the theory that Canadians are “nice.”
After a boating accident lands Evan unconscious in the hospital, Mel is mistaken for his fiancée by his welcoming yet quirky family, who are embroiled in a long-standing feud over the B&B. In a bold attempt to mend family fences, Mel agrees to fake their engagement for one week in exchange for Evan’s help with her social media content.
Amid long hikes and campfire chats, reeling in their budding feelings for each other proves more difficult by the day. But is Mel willing to sacrifice her picture-perfect life in the city for a chance at a true, unfiltered love in the wild?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lea tugs the heart strings in her final Influencer romance (after Exes and O's). Boston fashion influencer Melanie "Mel" Karlsen may appear to have it all, but in truth, her brand is failing and she's still reeling with grief following her adoptive father's death. Now she receives an invitation to visit and promote a Nova Scotia resort—but after a mix-up with her travel plans, she finds herself an hour away in a small fishing town. She gets a room in a run-down local bed and breakfast, where she can tell the cranky yet ruggedly handsome owner, Evan, a lobsterman, judges her as vapid and shallow. Determined to make the most of her vacation, she convinces Evan to take her out on his boat—leading to an accident that lands him in the hospital. Mel pretends to be his fiancée to be allowed in to see him—and Evan's large, quirky family take her at her word. The pair decide to keep up the ruse, hoping to reunite his feuding family and save the inn. Their outdoorsy fake romance reveals they have more in common than either expected, as both grapple with anxiety, depression, and abandonment issues. Lea handles these heavy themes with grace, never allowing them to overpower the fun, or vice versa. Readers will both laugh and cry.
