An Opposites Attract Workplace Romance
I can handle impossible brides and million‑dollar weddings.
I cannot handle one Irish‑American with a smile that ruins me.
I am not in love with the new chef at Casa Dorada.
I am impressed that he knows exactly how I take my coffee.
Connor Murphy is tall, charming—and absolutely off‑limits.
So of course he volunteers to be my fake boyfriend when my parents show up unannounced.
What starts as a favor turns into shared meals, late nights, and support I didn’t realize I was starving for.
He keeps showing up, looking at me like I’m more than the workaholic who can’t seem to please her parents.
I’m trying to stay focused on the wedding that could make my career.
But Connor’s ex shows up. I think she’s trying to win him back.
Then he panics and tells my parents we’re ENGAGED! What I thought was pretend now feels dangerously real.
Except I hear something I’m not supposed to, and my world tilts.
If this unravels, I lose the man who made me believe I could have love and a career.
Now I have to decide if I’m brave enough to fight for both.
