A broken engagement, a sneaky brother—will a shiny ribbon be enough to grab hold of their dreams?
Candace Shubert’s ex-fiancé might have been boring, but he had been the perfect distraction to launch her new photography career. Now that the wedding is off, the last thing she needs is to let her sisters find her a dreary accounting job. If only she can fool her sisters into believing she’s still engaged, she’ll have the couple of weeks needed to get her business running and prove to her family that a childhood hobby can indeed pay the bills.
When Kristopher Eklund agreed to a contest to determine the best salesman at Eklund’s Security, he figured it was just one more hoop to jump through before his father gave him ownership. He had never expected his brother to participate and especially not to take the lead. With three weeks left until the new year, he needs the sale of a lifetime to secure the right to take over the business.
The Eklund’s holiday party is the perfect place to make the pitch and Candace would be an ideal date, especially since her flare for presentation is just what he needs to make his proposal a hands-down guarantee. But is one measly evening worth the drama of being her pretend fiancé?
A fun novella with just enough angst to make the characters feel realistic as they deal with career and relationship woes. Reminded me a lot of Picture Perfect, the 90s romcom with Jennifer Aniston and Jay Mohr!
I feel like I just read a Hallmark movie. This story is sweet (and filled with sweet treats). Candace and Kristopher are both easy to love and easy to root for as they search for God’s leading in their lives.
Sweet and delightfully unexpected love triangle, a simple, Christ-honoring romance! All the marks of a classic Kramarczk story—complicated situations that have you wondering how two different characters will be able to overcome their fears. The driven hero in pursuit of the family business and a cautious, feisty heroine who learns to trust God’s all-sufficiency have a lot to overcome before love comes tied with a bow by Christmas.
