Cali Scott is not looking forward to attending her mother's wedding - especially given the girlfriend she has brought along for the trip is not actually dating her at all.

 

Leaving Wyoming was the only way Cali could be true to herself, even if it meant becoming a maid for a stately manor on the other side of the world. She didn't move. She ran.

 

After overhearing her colleague being roped back into the life she desperately tried to escape, Brodie attempts to save her by posing as her girlfriend while on call and agreeing to attend the wedding. It's what friends are for right?

 

Devising a relationship to return home with, they have an ex-boyfriend to convince there's no second chance and a small town family's prejudice to juggle but can Cali pull off a convincing performance when she's battling her real feelings for Brodie or will they see through the cracks?

About the author

Samantha McPhillips

Scottish born writer and recipent of the AG MacKenzie Award for Excellence in Literature. I originally started writing online after graduating high school as a journalist for a non-profit, global youth project; mainly writing articles about politics, international events and current affairs. Throughout school I had a passion for literature which led me to writing in my spare time and for classes - but I was always too shy to share my work.

After graduating and with the events of the pandemic, my mindset has changed and I want to carry out my dream of being an author. Even if I don't do the best, I'll have done it nonetheless.

My main genre of writing is queer fiction and I have many works in progress in that area; novels, novellas, screenplays. However, I don't believe that my writing should only focus on that alone as I don't read books that are "straight" fiction or seek them out.
