Sparks fly when a reclusive artist meets his muse in this new installment of the Buckeye Falls series.

Alice Snyder knows her reputation—and if she didn't, Buckeye Falls loves to remind her. She may come from the town's First Family, but that doesn't mean she plays by the rules. After a decade of traveling and going to school, she's back home and ready to settle down, or at least relax for a while. The trouble is, her neighbors are determined to find her a husband. She needs a way to get them off her back...

When James Gibson, a divorced artist, flees New York for the peace of small-town Ohio, he's excited to get painting again. The only trouble is, he's completely blocked. Despite his best efforts, his collection of canvases are blank and he's at a career crossroads. A chance meeting with the mayor's sister throws James's routine off balance, and he's eager to spend more time with this quirky spitfire.

And Alice might have the solution to both their problems...

Fake Date.

She gets the Nosey Nellies off her back, and James gets time with a woman who inspires him both inside and outside the studio.

Just a few weeks of pretending, and they'll move on. Simple, right? The trouble is the more time they spend together, the realer their relationship feels. The laughter, the stolen kisses—it all starts to feel like more.

Can these two be honest with each other and find their happily-ever-after, or are they doomed for a real breakup?

Libby Kay's FAKING THE FALL redeems Buckeye Falls's spinster troublemaker with a fake relationship romance filled with sweet small town vibes.
