One white lie, two hearts, and a dash of amnesia... Can a lonely barista turn a fake engagement into her real-life fairytale?

Monica's been brewing a crush on David, her adorkably handsome cafe regular, for two years. But when a twist of fate lands them on a ski trip together, one little white lie about being engaged suddenly snowballs into the Christmas fantasy she never knew she needed.

It's all fun and games until David takes a tumble on the slopes and wakes up with amnesia, leaving Monica trapped in a charade of her own making. Suddenly, she's living the life she's always dreamed of–complete with a doting almost-mother-in-law, a would-be sister, and the man of her dreams, who looks at her like she hangs the moon.

There's just one problem… none of it is real.

As Monica helps David piece together his memories (conveniently leaving out the ‘fake fiancée’ part), she finds herself falling deeper for the man she's supposed to be pretending to love. Each day brings stolen kisses under the mistletoe, laughter over terrible coffee puns, and the family bond she's always craved.

But this holiday romance’s path to a happily ever after is more complicated than assembling a gingerbread house blindfolded. David's conniving brother is poking holes in Monica's story and is dangerously close to uncovering the deception. And as Christmas approaches with whispers of a surprise wedding, Monica realizes she's in way too deep.

Will Monica come clean and risk losing everything, including the family she's grown to love? Or will she say "I do" to a man who has no idea their engagement is as genuine as a plastic Christmas tree?

One thing's for sure–this holiday season is about to get a whole latte complicated.

Brimming with laugh-out-loud moments and heartwarming drama, this standalone story in the Coffeehouse Romance Series will leave you craving your next cup of literary delight.
