'A great read.' NetGalley reviewer, 5 stars

Can a fake relationship help her win back the one who got away?

When Alice 'Murph' Murphy's beloved mother died, she promised to keep the family bakery in Graceville, Georgia afloat-even if it meant letting her high-school sweetheart and best friend, Nash Harris, go. For years, Murph has been biding her time, waiting for Nash to come home.

So when he strolls into Piece O' Cake, Murph's heart skips a beat-until he hands her an invitation to his wedding… There are painful secrets in both their pasts that only the two of them share, and Murph can't bear the thought of Nash belonging to someone else.

There's only one thing Murph can think of to do: fake a relationship with local bar owner and old friend Harley Shaw to remind Nash of what he's losing, and win him back for good.

Nash is Murph's best friend, a vivid reminder of her childhood and all the things she's lost-but the more time Murph and Harley spend together, the more the lines between real and pretend begin to blur. Can Murph choose between the one who got away and the one who never left-and heal her aching heart?

An emotional, compelling page-turner from your next romance obsession, Shann McPherson, about the power of friendship and finding love where you least expect it.
