Love Arranged (Lakefront Billionaires, #3)

by Lauren Asher

“There are already some whisperings about us, especially after the sheriff’s station visit and my drunken episode, so planting additional clues won’t be difficult. They’ll have no choice but to believe it because the signs have been there all along.” It’s alarming how perfect this all sounds. Dare I say too perfect. “So the official storyline is that we’ve secretly been in love this whole time but we hid it?” She nods. “Ever since we met on a dating app last year.” “And we kept quiet all because your family doesn’t like me?” Disbelief bleeds into the question. “Doesn’t that seem extreme to you?” “Anyone who has met my family will understand.” “So all of Lake Wisteria?” “You got it.” “And what changed for us?” I ask. “Why did we decide to go public now versus months ago?” “I couldn’t stand the idea of keeping our love a secret anymore,” she says dramatically. “But I think to sell our engagement, we should give everyone at least two months to adjust to the idea of us being a couple before we hit them with a proposal. Because if we come on too strong, too fast, it could be suspicious.”
