    "description": "<p>Lambda Literary award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur returns with a steamy sapphic rom-com about a quiet bookseller and a romance novel cover model who agree to a modern-day marriage of convenience...</p>\n<p>Tansy Adams&rsquo; greatest love is her family&rsquo;s bookstore, passed down from her late father. But when it comes to actual romance&hellip; Tansy can&rsquo;t get past the first chapter. Tired of her stepfamily&rsquo;s questions about her love life, Tansy invents Gemma, a fake girlfriend inspired by the stunning cover model on a bestselling book. They&rsquo;ll never actually meet, so what&rsquo;s the harm in a little fib? Yet when real-life Gemma crosses Tansy&rsquo;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&mdash;and announces their engagement. Gemma needs a wife to meet the terms of her grandfather&rsquo;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&rsquo;s a love match. Unexpected sparks fly as Tansy and Gemma play the role of affectionate fianc&eacute;es, and suddenly the line between convenient arrangement and real feelings begins to blur. But the scheming Van Dalen family won&rsquo;t give up the company without a fight, and Gemma and Tansy&rsquo;s newfound happiness might get caught in the fallout&hellip;</p>",
