I Really Can't Stay - Paperback

by A. R. Rose (Author)

From author A.R. Rose comes a STANDALONE feel good holiday romance with fake dating, found family, and a cat named Potato...

A wise woman once told me no one should have to spend the holidays alone, and with my first Christmas after losing my family quickly approaching, I decide to take her advice to heart.

My plan is impulsive, but simple: create a dating profile and attend a few Christmas parties throughout the month to combat the loneliness.

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect an avalanche of messages full of men eager for me to be their "holidate". From office parties to family gatherings, there's no shortage of festivities to fill my calendar.

And with my no strings rule, it should be simple, right?

That's what I thought, too. Until I meet someone who piques my interest in ways I never imagined, and I single-handedly redefine what it means to 'make an entrance'.

Now I can't help but wonder if the term falling in love is more literal than it seems.

Tropes:

Holiday

Found Family

Fake Dating

Big City Girl / Small Town Guy

He Falls First

Cat Bestie Named Potato*

*Not a trope, but you're going to love him.
