He swore never to fall for a city girl again.

She's on a mission to charm his small town.

MATT BECKER is stretched thin. Running his flower shop solo is already a full-time job, but now he’s also juggling caring for his little sister while their parents are away. With her expensive new school draining his savings, Matt’s barely keeping his head above water. He needs money—and fast.

Groomed to inherit her father’s hotel empire, ZOEY DELACROIX is finally poised to take the reins. But first, she must convince the shareholders she’s got what it takes and silence her own doubts. Her plan? Secure a land in the town where her father once failed. Falling for a local? Definitely not part of it.

When a crucial town vote on the land spirals into disaster and her reputation takes a hit, Zoey finds an unexpected lifeline—Matt. He suggests a fake relationship to win back the town’s favor in exchange for a spot in her small business investment program. It’s strictly business… until it isn’t. Matt never expected the spoiled city girl to fit so easily into his world. And Zoey never questioned the future set for her until she began picturing a life that looked a lot more like his.

As lines blur and real feelings get tangled in their fake romance, Matt and Zoey must decide if they're brave enough to rewrite their future, or risk losing the one thing they never saw coming: a shot at love.

HOAX AND KISSES is a soft, small town romance about finding your true self and the connections that bloom when you least expect them. Steamy and soul-stirring, this story is a tribute to the kind of love that sneaks up on you and never lets go.
