Reunited on Sugar Maple Road

Fans of RaeAnne Thayne and Catherine Anderson will love USA Today bestselling author Debbie Mason's sixth book in her charming, small-town Highland Falls series.

Fake dating isn't supposed to lead to real feelings....

Highland Falls police officer Emma Scott is a workaholic who doesn't do small talk, hugs, or anything else touchy-feely. Ever since her fiance's death over a year ago, Emma's been sleepwalking through life, and her family is growing increasingly worried about her. Enter Josh Callahan, her brother's best friend. Josh is obnoxiously good-looking and, even more annoyingly, in a perpetually cheerful mood. Though he may drive her crazy, his suggestion to fake date him is brilliant because there are no feelings involved. At least, not at first.

High school football coach and volunteer firefighter Josh Callahan is a fun-loving guy who is all about friends, family, and community. After his wife left him, he committed to staying uncommitted, except now he's earned the nickname "Heartbreaker of Highland Falls." Spending time with Emma will improve his rep while she can remember what it means to get out and enjoy life again. And his plan works...until Josh realizes that the feelings he has for Emma are all too real. But is Emma ready to share her heart again?
