Tansy Adams’ greatest love is her family’s bookstore, passed down from her late father. But when it comes to actual romance… Tansy can’t get past the first chapter. Tired of her stepfamily’s questions about her love life, Tansy invents Gemma, a fake girlfriend inspired by the stunning cover model on a bestselling book. They’ll never actually meet, so what’s the harm in a little fib? Yet when real-life Gemma crosses Tansy’s path, her white lie nearly implodes.
Gemma van Dalen is a wild child, the outcast of her wealthy family, and now the latest heir to Van Dalen Publishing. But the title comes with one tiny condition: she must be married in order to inherit. When Gemma discovers a beautiful stranger has been pretending to date her for months, she decides to take the charade one step further—and announces their engagement.
Gemma needs a wife to meet the terms of her grandfather’s will and Tansy needs money to save her struggling bookstore. A marriage could be mutually beneficial, if they can fool everyone into thinking it’s a love match. Unexpected sparks fly as Tansy and Gemma play the role of affectionate fiancées, and suddenly the line between convenient arrangement and real feelings begins to blur. But the scheming Van Dalen family won’t give up the company without a fight, and Gemma and Tansy’s newfound happiness might get caught in the fallout…

Contemporary romance fiction gained a prominent voice with the publication of Written in the Stars, a queer romantic comedy that achieved widespread recognition across the romance community. Written by USA Today bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur, the award-winning debut established her signature approach to character-driven romance featuring vibrant personalities and compelling relationship dynamics.
Originally a Pacific Northwesterner at heart, Bellefleur developed a love of reading early in life through encouragement from her mother. She later moved to New York City, where she resides with her cats, Mills and Boon. Her professional career launched with Written in the Stars, which earned a 2020 Ripped Bodice Award for Excellence in Romantic Fiction and a 2021 Lambda Literary Award. She expanded her catalog with contemporary releases including Count Your Lucky Stars, The Fiancée Farce, Truly, Madly, Deeply, and Playing for Keeps, alongside her paranormal romance novel The Devil She Knows.
Bellefleur's romantic comedies focus primarily on contemporary and sapphic relationships, often incorporating popular tropes such as grump-and-sunshine dynamics, fake dating, and workplace rivalries. Her stories emphasize witty banter, emotional vulnerability, late-in-life queer self-discovery, and the intersection of career ambition with personal connection.
