Crazy Rich Asians meets Always Be My Maybe in this deliciously sugar-free rom-com from debut
author Cynthia Timoti. She's salty he's spice--there's no room for sugar in this fake
relationship but it may be sweeter than they think... Ellie Pang has had enough of her
controlling family¿ who has been micromanaging her life since her type 1 diabetes diagnosis¿.
When her parents orchestrate a public proposal from their business partner's son a proposal
that goes humiliatingly viral Ellie escapes to the other side of the country to put her dream
of opening a sugar-free bakery into action. Afterall she'd done her research. How hard can it
be? She hits a snag when her storefront turns out to be a dump and in need of major
renovations. Worse the only person who can help her turn things around is Alec Mackenzie her
brother's best friend and the man responsible for crushing her teenage heart ten years ago.
But Alec has a proposal of his own: he needs a pretend girlfriend in order to cement a business
deal. All they need to do is feign love and affection while trying not to maim each other. As
the thin line between hate and fake-madly-in-love starts to blur buried secrets resurface and
Ellie must learn to trust her heart.
