She needs a fake boyfriend. He's been waiting years to make it real.

Savannah Hollingsworth doesn't need complications. After a life-changing diagnosis left her future uncertain, she's sworn off dating—and definitely sworn off love. But when a pushy admirer just won't take a hint, she turns to the one guy who's always had her back: Noah Barrett.

Noah's been in love with Savannah since high school. Now a local cop with a past he's proud to have outgrown, he jumps at the chance to play her boyfriend—even if it's only pretend. He just hopes living next door and spending time as her "fake" boyfriend will finally show her that he's the real deal.

But the closer they get, the harder it is for Savannah to keep pretending her heart's not involved. And Noah? He's done pretending anything.
