YES PLEASE

The blurb:

Penn Draper can handle a Class V rapid with ease, land a salmon blindfolded, and track elk better than guides twice her age. She's one of the most competent guides on the river, and together with her co-guide Rhys, they run one of the most respected outfits in the area.
It's the biggest trip of the season — two weeks in the middle of nowhere, running a river thick with trophy fish. Penn looks forward to this excursion every year, and this year is no different. Until her ex steps out of the client van, and her voice leaves her completely.
Rhys Tremblay knows one of Penn's biggest secrets: she has selective mutism. She has flares occasionally, but they've learned how to manage it over the years, and most of the time, clients never even notice. But this flare feels different. He's never seen her this scared before, and the way the stranger's eyes rake over her tells him more than he needs to know.
So he lies. And now he and Penn are fake-dating, and something that should have felt wrong has never felt more right.
Penn tells herself it's fine. Rhys is exactly the sort of guy you'd want to be stuck with in a situation like this. He's confident, kind, and knows how to read her like a weatherman reads the sky. Stuck playing at love, she'd expected it to feel manufactured. Fake.
So why doesn't it?

That's an EPIC blurb, Finch. I can't wait to read this!

@Keira ty! Hopefully after this writing will be easier and I can work on my other wips. I want to finish them so bad but every time I open the doc my mind blanks and I have no desire to write. I desperately want to finish them tho
