The Mayor’s Fake Fiancée

When the mayor of Fox Hollow's reelection campaign hangs on his looking less unmarried, he offers a struggling bakery owner a $20,000 contract for a public engagement that ends Election Night — and finds himself falling for the woman who insisted on it being all in writing.

In the charming historic square of Fox Hollow, Kentucky, bakery owner Sophie Callahan has finally found home after escaping big-city burnout.

When Mayor Grayson Caldwell’s slick, developer-backed opponent attacks his bachelor status as a “family values” liability, he makes Sophie a desperate proposal: pose as his fiancée through the election. In return, he’ll replace her dying commercial oven — the one threat that could close Sweet Mercy for good.

Sophie tells herself it’s purely business. A temporary shield for the town she loves and the only way to keep her dream alive.

But fake dates have a way of feeling real.

As they stroll hand-in-hand past the courthouse dome, share stolen moments on her balcony, and stand together against sabotage and vicious rumors, the guarded mayor’s quiet protectiveness chips away at Sophie’s walls — and her sunny resilience slowly thaws the man who’s spent years married only to his duties.
