From debut author Elle Gonzalez Rose comes a fresh, fun contemporary rom-com about an aspiring artist who agrees to fake date one of his family´s longtime enemies in the hopes of gathering intel strong enough to take down their rivals and keep the family cabin they gambled in a risky bet. Devin Báez is prepared for a relaxing winter break after his rough, first semester of art school. Sure, his family´s old Florida lake cabin is falling apart, and everything in it reminds him of his late mom. And yes, the Baezes´ next-door neighbors, the Seo-Cookes, are still petty, but things could be worse. That is, until Devin runs into the Seo-Cookes´ now annoyingly handsome son, Julian, who comes to him in need of a fake boyfriend. Despite having a prestigious mentorship application and their beloved cabin to worry about, Devin reluctantly agrees under one condition: He can use the Seo-Cookes´ luxe vacation home to concentrate on his art. More importantly though, he can use his time there to infiltrate the rival´s domain and uncover secrets to prove they´ve been cheating at the Winter Games, an annual event where the Baezes have taken back-to-back Ls. Passing off loathing as love is more difficult than it seems, especially when the stakes for this year´s competition are higher than ever. Bragging rights and the deed to the Baezes´ cabin is on the line. Julian may not be the pretentious jerk Devin thought he was, but with their families at each other´s throats, there´s no room for anything but fiction between them. Which is definitely a problem because Devin´s feelings for Julian are starting to feel very real.
