Margo and the Faux Good Luck Beau by Ellie Hall

I believe in love at first sight, but is there such a thing as a fake fiancé at first sight?

As the only remaining single woman in a family of gold-digging, marry-rich overachievers, I get desperate and declare that the Viking-Highlander hockey star at my cousin’s wedding is my fiancé. (We’d kept it hush-hush to not steal her thunder. Wink, wink.)
He’s either been hit in the head with a puck or he’s super stubborn because he refuses to play his part until my mother gives him a disapproving down-the-nose look. (This ignites a fire in his green eyes, which makes the butterflies in me dance a jig.)
Just when I think it’s time to return to the dating board, he makes a proposal to go along with my scheme. Not that kind of proposal, though I wouldn’t object—the goalie is dreamy in a Northern Lights fantastical way. (He needs to get married to make good on a family promise for his inheritance.)
The grump has mojo, but fortunately, I’m made of sunshine and moxie. With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, we need all the good luck we can get because my family is on to me, claiming my fake fiancé has a secret.

So do I…and it’s that I’m smitten. He can deny his feelings until the end of the rainbow, but that’s a load of blarney and I’m going to prove it, even if it involves some shamrock shenanigans.
