The Valentine Plan
ByPublisher Description
Faking an engagement…
Should be a piece of (cheese)cake!
To win his parents’ competition and space to expand his cheese shop, cheesemaker Lucas Carl must get engaged before his older brother—or pretend to. Newly divorced and very pregnant, Chrysta Ball needs a supplier for her cheese-board party business. Like Lucas, she’s too goal focused to let feelings get in the way. Chrysta is also the only woman he’s ever met who shares his passion for cheese. Can a fake engagement survive charcuterie drama, family secrets and a Valentine’s Day deadline…or is Lucas in whey over his head?
