The Best I Never Had

A fun and heartfelt romance about fake dating, second chances, and the feelings that never really went away.

Thea is determined to be the perfect maid of honor for her sister, even if the surprise engagement and family wedding bring more chaos than she expected. The last thing she anticipates is running into Owen—the man she once pretended to date at a family wedding three years ago.

Owen has spent years trying to keep his life under control, but seeing Thea again brings back the chemistry they never quite managed to forget. When family pressure pushes him to ask Thea to pretend to be his girlfriend once again, they agree to replay their old arrangement for one week.

But this time, keeping their feelings out of the act proves much harder. As old sparks return and their fake relationship starts feeling surprisingly real, Thea and Owen have to decide whether they're willing to risk everything for the love they once pretended didn't exist.

Perfect for readers who love fake dating, second-chance romance, wedding settings, forced proximity, witty banter, and couples with undeniable chemistry.
