Faking It With My Best Friend's Firefighter Brother

Someone secretly won me a date with the woman I've quietly loved for years. Now the whole town thinks we're finally together.
My little sister’s best friend, Avery Collins, has always been the one woman I couldn’t forget.
She comes back to Lake Harbor for the summer to help renovate my family's lodge.
Then someone anonymously bids in her name at the annual firefighter auction.
Now everyone thinks we're dating.
We should set the record straight.
But pretending we're together might keep the lodge out of a developer's hands.
So we agree to play along.
No correcting the rumors.
And no letting Avery know how I really feel.
Then somewhere between rebuilding the lodge together, sharing quiet moments on the lake, and remembering why I fell for her in the first place...
I forget this is supposed to end.
But Avery will go back to Chicago.
And I don't know how to ask her to choose me over the life she's built there.
Now I'm facing the one fire I don't know how to put out.
