An Almost Kiss on St. Patrick's
She only meant to confront her father’s biggest problem.
She never expected him to be the man she’s been quietly running with before sunrise.
Lily Tenner would do anything to help her dad—including tracking down the coworker he can’t stand and demanding the man quit. But when she storms into the Alvin High gym ready for a fight, she’s stunned to discover the “enemy” is Patrick O’Conner… the calm, sweet neighbor who once caught her on black ice and has unknowingly become the best part of her mornings.
Patrick’s used to being misunderstood, but Lily sees past his intimidating build to the kind-hearted protector he truly is. And when she chases him into the mountains—determined to finish what she started—they end up snowed in at an abandoned cabin, talking for the first time like what they say actually matters. That’s when Patrick learns about the creep at her job. And that’s when he makes a risky offer: fake date him until the problem disappears.
It’s supposed to be simple… until one almost kiss on St. Patrick’s Day makes their “fake” romance feel dangerously real. Keeping their feelings hidden from her stubborn father might be impossible.
And falling for the man she was never supposed to want could cost them both more than they’re ready to risk.
A Clean, swoony small-town romance about two people's hearts and what they are willing to do to make their dreams come true.
