When a Valentine's Day contest for Arizona's Cutest Couple throws two romance-challenged people together, can they survive a fake engagement?
All Penny Merrill wants to do is run her own sweet shop in beautiful and ritzy Scottsdale, Arizona, but her money-hungry mother and conniving stepfather are making it nearly impossible to keep her dream alive. When Penny finds an advertisement for a Valentine's Day contest for Arizona's Cutest Couple, with the winnings being enough to enable her to hold on to her floundering business, she comes up with an idea that just might work--if she can find the right man for the job.
Commercial contractor Preston Ames is starting to develop feelings for Penny, and even though he's been through enough heartache to know that he should avoid her at all costs, he can't keep himself from visiting her sweet shop everyday. When Penny asks him to participate in a crazy scheme so that she can overturn her stepfather's underhanded business ploy, Preston is tempted to run the other way. But one look into her soulful blue eyes and he's a goner. Little does he know that just one picture will turn Penny into his sweet Valentine.
But when the fact that Preston is a billionaire comes to light, and Penny and Preston compete against another couple whose heartache transcends all of their misconceptions about love, will they do the right thing? And in the process, discover a bond that is greater than they thought was even possible?
My Review 4 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This is a sweet read, just in time for Valentines day that should warm up your heart. Penny is fighting for her sweet shop, and wants to enter a completion where the grand prize is a holiday to Hawaii and $5,000. She needs the money to help fix her failing car.
Preston owns his own construction company and goes to the sweet shop every day for doughnuts for his crew. He has always liked Penny and her sweet and generous heart.
After agreeing to pose as her fake boyfriend for round one, thinking it won't go further than there, he is surprised each time tha=ey get to the next round.
Both characters get deeper feeling for each other, and there is a little intrigue with the story too with a little sabotage to Penny shop.
Preston finds something he was not sure still existed and Penny finds a man that will love her and protect her from others, even her family if needed.
