When the door closed on my marriage, I was fortunate to follow a new dream. One that led me to opening my own bakery in downtown Pine Village. It hasn't been easy, especially in the offseason, but I make it work. I'm content. Happy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen Kameron Markley showed up on my doorstep, begging me to be his fake girlfriend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt seems like such a simple plan, especially when we're both getting something out of it.

The building beside mine has been sitting for as long as I can remember, and the owner is finally ready to sell. The only problem is, she thinks it needs to go to a family man. Suddenly, I'm desperate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat's when I come up with the wild idea to find a fake girlfriend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJillian Kirby fits the bill to a T, and with a little negotiation, we're able to work out a deal where we both come out ahead.
