An auto accident with a bad boy sparks a fake engagement…is it fate or a heartbreaking mistake?
After her fiancĂ© dumped her just months before their wedding, Liza Sorenson swore off dating. The holiday season is ruined when Liza is forced to attend a design conference and meet with her ex—the guy who now wants her back. She needs help to fend off her ex, so when she gets into an accident with Jaime Maldonado, she sees an opportunity.
After a run-in with the police, Jaime becomes the “bad boy” of Echo Ridge. He needs to present a good image to fight off his ex-wife and win an upcoming court battle involving the custody of his son. An auto accident is the last thing he needs until he realizes he might be able to use it to his advantage.
Jaime and Liza enter into a fake engagement, each with the intention of using the other to solve their problems, but they didn’t bargain on getting their hearts entangled with their agreement. Liza is hesitant to trust and Jaime is hiding a secret bigger than she could ever imagine. Will this fake engagement damage their hearts or help them find a way to heal?

My Review: 4 StarsI love Echo Ridge and I was so excited to get more of this charming mountainous town. Liza and Jaime have a somewhat traumatic first meeting, but that doesn't stop the interest from sparking. I loved their interactions and enjoyed watching the way the story unfolded.Liza and Jaime both have pasts to overcome and I love that they're each flawed in their own ways, but work so hard to become better. Liza needs a nudge to follow her dreams, and her somewhat blunt and winsome personality are just what Jaime needs. While Jaime was juggling a crazy ex and a hostile teen son, he still found time for Liza and his encouragement was so sweet. These characters are realistic and far from perfect, but that's exactly what makes them lovable.I couldn't help myself--I was cringing during some of their fake fiance moments because I just knew things were going to blow up, but this train wreck completely engaged me and surprised me with its twists a few times. Liza and Jaime had a great chemistry and this was a great addition to this romantic series.Content: mild romance (talk of cheating); very mild violence (emotional abuse)
