Even more annoyingly, competition by the name of Marshall Bartlett, who has the nerve to steal her parking spot and insult her bakery. But putting Marshall out of her mind isn't a piece of cake. Not when both families attempt to broker peace by blackmailing them into five "get to know you" dates, and especially not when Emery's sex-starved grandmother is chaperoning from afar.Will their dates go down as easily as Emery's cherry cobbler, or will they be a recipe for disaster?

The thing about pretending, though, someone's always better at it, and by the time I realized my mistake, there was no going back. I fell for our lie. And then everything fell apart. It turned out he and I were never playing the same game. He didn't have to break me to win. But he did it anyway.
